If you’ve followed along with some of my blog posts the last couple months, you likely have seen that I have been getting back into golf. I figured I would have some fun with this rekindled flame and get some golf balls branded with The Cigar Farm’s logo. I figure that when I inevitably lose them, a cigar smoker may find it and check out the site.
Of course I’d like to share them with you all! So to add to the fun I thought I would make some “Golf Course Samplers” that come with a ball and cigar for the Front 9 and a ball and cigar for the Back 9! You can choose between 4 samplers which contain the same two cigars, but with your choice of either: Titleist Pro V1, Callaway Chrome Soft, Bridgestone Tour B XS, or Taylormade TP5 X balls!
As for the cigars, here they are and why I picked them!
The Front Nine
If you’re like me, the front nine (or at least the first few holes) are my “loosen up” and “figure out the greens” holes. A “warm-up” nine, if you will. So I thought, a fitting cigar for the front nine is a cigar that helps you warm-up. Something that performs perfectly, everytime, so that you don’t have to focus on it, and instead can focus on those swing “feels”. As for the profile, there is plenty of flavor to really warm up your palate, but the strength is on the lighter side so you don’t burn out your palate before you really hit your stride in the back-nine.
For the front nine I thought a Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sobremesa Brulee Blue was a perfect choice! This cigar always performs perfectly and offers plenty of flavor, but in a refined, nuanced manner. Always a solid smoke and a great way to start your round.
The Back Nine
The back nine can be a gamble… you either enter it in good spirits, or you’re left defeated by the front nine.. Again, if you’re like me.
The back nine cigar is dual purpose: celebratory OR a kick in the ass. Something that rewards the great front nine you had, or lifts your spirits from the sh*tshow of a front nine you just had. I’m going Plasencia Alma Del Fuego Robusto for this one. This cigar is an example of elegance and power working in harmony.
With a ball and cigar for each nine, you’ll be all set next time you get to the course! And if you lose a ball, don’t fret, just consider it a referral to your favorite retailer..
