The Blue Jay

No brigadier throughout the year
So civic as the jay.
A neighbor and a warrior too,
With shrill felicity
Pursuing winds that censure us
A February day,
The brother of the universe
Was never blown away.
The snow and he are intimate;
I 've often seen them play
When heaven looked upon us all
With such severity,
I felt apology were due
To an insulted sky,
Whose pompous frown was nutriment
To their temerity.
The pillow of this daring head
Is pungent evergreens;
His larder — terse and militant —
Unknown, refreshing things;
His character a tonic,
His future a dispute;
Unfair an immortality
That leaves this neighbor out. ~ Poem by Emily Dickinson

Cigar Review: Today Y’all, I’m smoking Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua in a Robusto that’s just under 5 inches with a 48 ring gauge.
Blended in Cuba in the 1840s, the brand is named after the historic British puppet, Mr. Punch. Like most of today’s big Cuban brands, a non-Cuban version is made for cigar lovers in the U.S.
Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua hails from Nicaragua, and it’s blended from a pretty oily Connecticut broad-leaf wrapper over a dense combo of premium Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. Punch is a long time favorite brand with a hearty side and complex flavors. I highly recommend smoking this in the afternoon and later into the evening as the hickory and spicy black pepper pulse across the taste buds.
This amazing selection presents an overall sweet and peppery profile of earth and dark cocoa. Strong notes of dark roast coffee and leather develop as the cigar heats up. Bittersweet notes of dark chocolate punctuate the aftertaste in each draw throughout the first half. The pepper fades a bit, and the cigar’s woody, earthy character comes to the forefront. Notes of chocolate and baking spices, like cinnamon and vanilla bean, add definition to a chewy profile of hickory and cedar. The draw is lucid, and the ash is firm from beginning to end.
