My family raised tobacco for generations and was sought out by many for their skills. Dad took the buyout when he observed the anti smoking sentiment rising. Up until that time we had always grown at least 15 acres at home and more on several other farms.
Tobacco is or was, the most expensive and profitable crop oweing to the fertilizer, chemical and labor investment necessary to produce it. Usually, we over produced and the excess had to be trucked to Kentucky to sell.
Anyway, I need time to examine premium cigars in depth. I may have to start with a Rocky Patel 1999 Churchill or perhaps an Oliva Nub 460 Connecticut with a wee nip or two of good whisky.
This may also be a good time to bring up Rudyard Kipling’s poem “The Betrothed” because I was just rereading “Barrack-Room Ballads” yesterday.
Sounds like a good way to watch the sun set.
