JFR and Oliva
As planned, I stopped by the Boardroom in Brandon first, to try out the JFR Maduro and see if it was at good as some
of my friends were telling me. On the plus side, the cigar tasted good and it was enjoyable enough but the fact that I have
to pay for it to find out if I like it or not is already a minus from the beginning, and half way through the cigar started
burning sideways and became harsh; a waste of money. Then I headed over to Cigar Castle, who was conducting a proper tasting
of the Oliva Serie V Ligero Especial. Now that was an awesome cigar from beginning to
end! Smooth but full of flavor, nice, even burn, perfect draw. This, my friends, is a cigar you won't want to let go until
your fingers burn. Highly recommended.

Smoking a cigar is nothing like smoking a cigarette. When
you smoke a cigar, you have time to think. It teaches you patience and tolerance, and gives you an appreciation of good company.

Great Cigar Quotes! Click here to check them out.
"Smoking a cigar gives you a chance to sit back and take things slow for a bit. You can wipe all of the day's thoughts out of your
brain for that short period and just relax and enjoy the peace"
