Small Hiatus- Be Back in a day or so

I've taken a small hiatus from the blog only because I've temporarily relocated to NYC for the month.  I'm finding my way and also mapping out the great cigar spots in the city.  Stay tuned for return of my smoke next week!

Perdomo and Viognier

The previous wines that I had with my Perdomo worked wonderfully, the Cabernet even the Riesling.  But the cigar just ran over the Bear's Lair 2007 Viognier.  I didn't get a good blend until almost the end and even then it was just a few puffs of harmony.  The wine by itself, great!  And in the words of Forrest Gump, "and that's all I have to say about that"!

Perdomo+ Kelt Cognac

Lauren at Highland Cigar suggested this cognac that she happened upon and began carrying in the shop.  Kelt Cognac is aged in barrels on a ship and is carried from port to port to port for over a year.  The process is called "Ocean Maturation".  The taste, well, it's pretty good.  Kinda spicy and floral at the same time if that makes any sense.  But with my Perdomo, they seem to be competing with one another in the spice department.  This may be an extremely huge faux pas, put I squeezed a bit of lime in the cognac which softened the liquor a bit.  But it's still strong.  The lime made it more palpable for me and more enjoyable.  A friend recently gave me the expression, "I'd get with this(or I'd f*ck with this)".  This combo, I'd get with, maybe not my very first choice, but a definite contender.
