Color project the reckoning. Little bit of a wonky burn at the beginning. It had moments of absolute brilliance surrounded by moments of being a so-so cigar. Time to stash these away.
Bijou (which can be pluralized as either bijoux or bijous) has adorned English since the late 17th century. We borrowed it from French, but the word ultimately traces to Breton, a Celtic language (one closely related to Cornish and Welsh) spoken by inhabitants of the Brittany region of northwest France. Our modern English word derives from Breton bizou, which means "ring." That history makes bijou a rare gem in English because, although the Breton people occupied part of England for many years before they were pushed into France by the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th and 6th centuries, very few Breton-derived words remain in our language. (Another Breton descendant is menhir, a term for a kind of monolith.)

RP Renaissance maduro. First one of these, only have one actually. Must have come in a sampler.
Yeah, can't do it. Taste like dirt and harsh off-putting flavors. That will be my first and last. Yuck 🤮.
On to the next after copious amounts of water and spitting...lol. Haven't smoked one of these in a long time.
You have to take the blue string out of it before you smoke it, duh!
That string looked like polyethylene from here. Yum.
This one sucked less than finding a sawbuck in a jacket pocket
Black Friday
Somehow didn't have the cigar I planned on smoking this afternoon in the case, had to settle on an Oliva V.
