Another holiday, another cigar to celebrate with! I chose a particularly dark CBLM wrapped stogie as the cigar of choice, and to be politically correct: I chose a white label. The Nestor Vintage 747 (series II Vintage 1989) by Nestor Plascencia is the winner. It is a wonderful long 7.62x47 churchill. These cigars come in cedar boxes of 50, which endears them to aging and ease of storage. They are very tasty (even in the natural wrapper) and I would rate them as medium bodied. This would also be my pick for all around good cigar for any situation, especially when the pallet tires of spicy cigars. They have a leathery almond taste and a sweetness, which is appreciated initially. In the longer smoke, the flavor does change a bit and tends to the woody flavors. Construction was excellent, and my stogie did well and did not canoe, even in 20 mph winds!
Juneteenth is a Texas holiday which started in my beloved Galveston. It was celebration of the day slavery was proclaimed ended by Union forces. Thank God for all the freedom we enjoy! May we live as bondservants to The Mighty Creator of Heaven and Earth!
