Half the Toro

     A gentleman must know his cigars for the right reasons. No one wants to hear some highbrow wax poetically for 10 minutes in a social gathering about wrappers, fillers and binders. However, that being the said, one should be aware of the smoke rings he blowith while sipping on a mezcal old-fashioned.

     The question is posed. What is it about a cigar accompanying this beautiful woman ? Does one really want to know, or make up an answer for their personal amusement ? If you did want an answer, you will be denied that satisfaction. An afternoon on the beach was not going to turn into 10 Questions with Charles Lappel on the topic of 'Women Smoking Cigars.' The only thing that came to mind when she pulled the Toro out of her tin cigar holder was to make sure my matches were handy.
