‘Sir, one last question, when and how do you couple drinking with smoking? Any modus operandi?’
‘Well, to be honest, there are recommendations on that matter. However, I do what I feel like doing. So, here is what I do and enjoy very much, my “Cigar-Ride”, as we call it at home: first, for each five whiffs, I puff a whiff of smoke into my drink, and I fill it till the top. As a result, you get two layers, the drink at the bottom and the aromatic smoke of the cigar hovering over it. Then I inhale the smoke through the nose and enjoy the splendid aroma of the drink and the cigar. Next, I fuse them by stirring them up; the chain reaction is extraordinary. Finally, I quaff the drink and… feel like I have just rifted a continent! That way, you triple your reward from your cigar.’
