In a few weeks I'm going to have extra time in the morning to sit down and relax with a cup of coffee and a good smoke a few days a week. This morning I sat outside with an Arturo Fuente Brevas and I was disappointed to say the least. It was the first time I smoked that particular stick. I bought it a few weeks ago as a single from my B&M mainly because it was an AF, it was inexpensive ($4) and it was short and a small RG. Those are the characteristics I'm looking for in a good morning smoke.
The AF Brevas wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good either. It was just...ehhhh. I thought it was rather mild even though it's labeled a medium smoke. It had a great draw, great burn, great smoke production, but the flavor just wasn't there. It had a pretty dry finish which I hate.
So Brothers, what do you normally smoke in the morning? Like almost all of us, I'm looking for that fine line between quality and inexpensive.
