Freedom's light

Freedom, such a wonderful taste of cool fresh air. Like a galloping horse freed for the first time to run unfettered. When the wind blows continuously on an otherwise stifling day or the smell of the first rain on steaming concrete. Fresh orange tree leaves in the spring giving such a pleasant aroma that one can even taste the Texas oranges without touching them. Joys of a smile by a toothless infant or stoic old codger. Jumping up and down without the fear of gravity. No fear in speaking around those who truly love you. Such incredible refreshment and mind boggling liberty, that frees us from oppression - imagined or otherwise. When countries are liberated we are likewise excited celebrating the uninhibited relief from oppressive Government. Here's a story of liberation and release that I haven't heard before:

The picnic that brought down the Berlin Wall
In one of history's hidden turning points, a gambit by Hungarian officials opened the door to the collapse of the Eastern Bloc.

Finding a cigar to match freedoms light - is quite a difficult task. Finding a match to light a cigar is much easier. The cigar I would choose is the Saint Luis Rey Serie G Maduro in the churchill size. It is a beauty which provokes your nasal and visual senses, even before it is lit. I comes in a nice black wooden box with a sliding brown lid. The double red labels are pleasing as well. It is a tad spongy for the size, but mine had a very nice earthy woody odor with a fine plume. The taste was mildly sweet and tasted of mild coffee and woody mild spice. The cigar burned well and was quite a pleasant smoke for a late summer's evening while dreaming of autumns approaching cooling. Set my mind free.
