I should invest a little more time into making better coffee. I have to visit my dad to get a good one or fire up the Nespresso machine, because I can barely use my coffee pot. But yesterday I visited and had a good talk and a great espresso.

My dad can't smoke or drink anymore, but he always sits close whenever I light up, and offering a good espresso is a sure way to get me to do that. I had the Aganorsa Signature Selection, which I think is in my Top 5 Nicaraguan puros, with great flavors of allspice, butter, maple syrup and pepper.

The espresso contrasts a lot with these flavors, but it makes for a great way to appreciate those differences, and sitting with my dad makes it even better.
