golfing for leisure or "I like Mike"

Golf is such a boring game to watch on TV, as opposed to action sports. It seems to be fun and addicting to those who play regularly. We don't have a golf range in Lindenau, but a former renter used the house on the hill as the tee for his driving range - successfully. We do have a Rifle Club, and occasionally the air is punctuated by the sounds of hunter's weapons. The area would make a good golf course due to the topography, but it wouldn't be supported by the locals, or even the nearby town. There is one good thing about golf. It is a time of leisure and therefore time for a fine stogie. The leisurely life style and the game - as well as fine conversation are all very compatible with enjoying the taste of a fine cigar.
There are those that have frowned on the cigar luxury, and even go so far as to even suggest banning smoking in our homes and vehicles. They have banned them outside in public...

Michael Jordan finds out sometimes a cigar is not just a cigar

The cigar to protest this event is made by none other than Nick Perdomo - the Perdomo Reserve Golf double eagle tubo. It is Nicaraguan beauty with a nice medium Connecticut brown smooth wrapper that was just the right thickness - not too thick or too thin. It was nice size for 18 holes - 7x54. The taste was sweet and slightly spicy, with a mild taste of cedar on the draw and the finish. The finish was medium to long. It and the others that I have smoked from this line have burned and smoked well - impressing even the non-golfer. I think I would have to be like Michael J and take a practice round...
