Did you know that Square Dancing has its roots in antisemitism? It was manufactured as a wholesome alternative to the Jews and their Jazz -- which was, of course, itself created to destroy the world. True story. But this, this is the Tango. Or at least the La Volcada step therein.
Okay, okay. It's about a cigar...

- Superb draw.
- Bupkis hard/soft spots, well-rolled.
- Burns even, just not on a razor-line
- Construction holds in excellent fashion.
- Ash makes a decent inch of growth.
- Pacing is slow and easy.
- Muted but pleasant room-note of a Cavendish lilt.
- Silky-smooth. Even through the red-pepper'd schnoz.
- Smoke is about the coolest temp'd I recall.
KVETCH
- Bit lumpy shaft
- Seams are less-than tight, less than even.
- Smoke out-put is a tick thinner than I prefer (picks-up-some throughout).
- Finish is a bit mottled and short-legged.
- Can there be too great of a balance? Lulls a bit.
- Limited flavorscape.

Is this why people whom can afford the very best sometimes seem bored by it all? "Fine, bare-breasted slave-girl. Peel me another grape and plop it in my fat mouth if you must." A beautiful tedium which never quite fades on either account. Pepper ups through the schnoz and with it a warm sweetness. Smooth and rich, moderately heavy yet completely unburdensome there. Balanced like the notes of any old lullaby. A meditation on an almost melancholy perfection.
Regardless of the name being that of a step in the Tango, I don't feel like dancing at all. Amourous, perchance. That last sentence is intended to be read with a purr... as I wrote it with one, gentlepersons.
