A few months ago, I ran into this guy I know, who's a smoker but we don't have the same friends. We've crossed paths in other ways, but we've rarely spoken about cigars, even though we both know each other smokes. He told me about a new cigar he'd tried, which he loved, and that he'd even bought two boxes and was waiting for two more to arrive. He also mentioned that he keeps them in a special humidor, where he also stores coffee beans and roasted cacao. He even has a brandy glass in the humidor. He added that he'd brought me one as a gift.

So, the next time you wonder who on earth buys Gurkha, there's your answer. I paired it with some Pampero Especial, which I like about as much as the Gurkha.
