Today's stick: Alec & Bradley Kintsugi

Alec & Bradley is a cigar line, by the sons that makeup the namesake of Alec Bradley.

A gross simplification of Kintsugi (金継ぎ) is the Japanese art of reassembling broken porcelain items using gold and lacquer. Like any Japanese art, it is much, much more than that in expression and practice.

This is a new sampler for me. I was admittedly not impressed. The smoke was a lot lighter than I usually go for, and nothing to write home about. Comparable to a corner store stick, it tasted like a rollie. The particular one I got ran like hell, and required more than a couple touchups.

However, the manga is excellent. I highly recommend it.
