What my wife sees, (bottom) and what we see... Merry Christmas, Mates!

Dipping in to the Christmas Sampler again, chose the San Cristobal La Fuerza because I've yet to have a San Cristobal. Good construction, with the exception of one corner of leaf just under the band that had come up a bit (check pic 3). Debated sipping some Yamazaki, but wound up pairing with nothing, just smoking the cigar. Used a guillotine cut, I've been veering back to it after using V cut for awhile now. I think it definitely helped on the draw, in fact that's my overwhelming tasting note for this - light, airy, fluffy. I see why it's described as pancake now, when I think of light and airy and fluffy, that's what I think of. Little bit of molasses, but not much. Pretty consistent, in the middle perhaps a bit of toasted rye, but fluffy pankcakey goodness. Rain caught me towards the end, so finished in garage, then went to friends for drinks and dinner and a hand rolled custom. A good night overall. I'm going to keep an eye on 24:24 for SC and try some more pancakes this year.
