Friars Chocolate Cigars (Amazon) By @SpectreUK

Happy New Year of the Snake. Earlier this year I remembered I've given up smoking for more than twenty-six years. I chain-smoked cigarettes for several years when I was young, and trying to look cool like James Dean or something. I tried every fag on the market, and also every cigar. I also used to have a Cuban Cigar to celebrate Christmas and on my Birthday. My Cuban cigar is still the only smoke I miss. And so Cinabar buys me a chocolate cigar on celebrations instead.

 

There isn't much information on the box about these Friars Chocolate Cigars. Certainly sumptuous in quality milk chocolate, there were three in the box. My first one didn't last all that long, I sucked on it for a while and nibbled the rest. Of course, I started it with the Hannibal Smith quote, "I love it when a plan comes together."

I do love chocolate cigars. They always give my child-like brain something symbolic to enjoy, rather than something that's not particularly good for me, and takes well over an hour to smoke. They're perfect for a celebration, and they always remind me that I did give up smoking, and I never went back.
