There is no such thing as a good cigar.

To be honest, it’s been many years since I’ve smoked a cigar, and more since I’ve smoked a good one. In the Canary Islands I had one grown from Cuban tobacco seeds, and it was remarkable. But I have a very unsophisticated palate (same with wine… I know what I like).

Wait a minute, You’re an awesome writer, a scientist, a skeptologist, the president of the JREF, a Dr. Who fan, AND you like good cigars!?

OK, we need to hang out. I’ll supply the Ghurka Nepalese Warriors and Rocky Patel Vintage 1990’s if you bring the Guiness. (I hear Wil is into Guiness as well).

If you’re also into fly fishing then you may want to check to see if you have the other half of this amulet that I’ve had since birth.

It looks like Phil’s book-pimping has now reached the corridors of the UN (or not)

Conventional wisdom would say Port & Cigars, but I am my own person. I’ll even drink red wine with seafood! If you enjoy something, who cares what the experts say! Although, if the experts say something, it would behoove you to at least try it their way to see what the deal is, but if you have your own tastes, then go for it. Although, you’ll need to be prepared to explain yourself from time to time!
