Construction

I don’t know why but the feeling I got when I held the cigar was a chili pepper like feeling. Like when you’re in the store and you almost feel the heat of the fruit before you’ve even cooked it. The cigar was firm and evenly rolled without any veins. There was a silky oiliness that wrapped around the cigar.
