As is almost always the case, December raced by like Steve McQueen driving at La Mans. So it is good, as we cross over into the new year, to take a little time to relax with a cigar and a drink, and think about the interesting things to come.
We were able to do a little of that today with a snifter of the club brandy and the new club cigar (for 2024), which is the Arturo Fuente Brevas Royale. Add to that a little writing, a little planning, and a fantastic dinner of all the New Years staples, and you have a very fine start to 2024.
Tradition says to do on New Years Day all the things that you hope to do throughout the year. Tradition observed.
