The finer things

Trinidad Topes

RRP £65 astonsofmanchester.co.uk quality brand and skilled in the larger gauges. The Topes has a beautiful outer wrapper presenting a clean and smooth cigar. On such a large ring gauge, I suggest a straight cut to help with the draw, which is smooth but with some resistance (which is good). A beautiful white ash and an ember pyramid underneath show it’s well built. A cigar to work up to. open wounds. My theory is that when pigeons gorge themselves, they can lacerate the inside of their crops, allowing the bacteria to enter the bloodstream. This is only a theory but cases are always high when wild harvest is abundant. The other more worrying case is bird flu. Again it is unproven, but if pigeons are affected, then this could impact the population.
