MOTZEI SHABBOS PUFF CIGARS
BY: IZAK HELD

igars have a plethora of flavors — not just your typical strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla (as you get in a milkshake) but rather creamy, mild, medium, and heavy. If you’re a first time cigar user, preconceived notions will have you trying a light and creamy cigar. I would counsel differently. Being that your palate is a novice, go for a stick that is heavy and has spice. Your palate simply won’t be able to break down and decipher the hints and natural deliciousness within, but that’s ok. Think about the first time you tried something and how deep it felt, while you knew there was a long way to go. I think back to my first job on Wall Street (ok, it was two blocks north of Wall Street, but pardon the nuance). After the whole human resources welcome and a few days in training, I found myself at my desk and wired. Thinking about the entire job and what it entails can be, nay, is overwhelming. To bring the analogy back to our cigars, taking on too much in the beginning can weaken the experience. A cigar that is light is actually harder to understand for a beginner or occasional smoker. Heavy and more spiced cigars are much easier to detect and familiarize yourself with when it comes to the flavor profiles and notes within the cigars. A few of the brands that sell phenomenal heavier cigars that conventionally come in darker shades are Rocky Patel, Diamond Crown, CAO, and Alec Bradley. These four cigars will vary in price depending on where you buy them and can range from affordable to a luxury buy. They are all not only delectable but make great Motzei Shabbos chill gifts too.
