Good command<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By removing Thor's Hammer from the protective shirt, I had a good feeling. This feeling was undoubtedly influenced by the opinion of my friend who recommended this cigar to me (\u0141ukasz's greetings :)), and the first impression when I saw them in the humidor. The Gordo format (fat \/ thick) actually fits in the palm of your hand and has the impression of a "concrete" cigar. Ornate ring, in the Viking style, with the leading color of deep, metallized red, and the coat of arms with the inscription Royal Danish Cigars (Danish Royal Cigars), announces a cigar extraordinary<\/strong>. It is hard to ignore the first impression, although it has led me astray several times (I did not appreciate a few very decent cigars because they looked average, but on another occasion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ring - with an interesting history in the background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Very wide ring - properly occupying 1\/3 of 13 cm cigar, is made very carefully. Metallized print, deep red background with underprints, silver and gold accents, build a sense of luxury and uniqueness. In addition, the herb with information about the "royal" origin adds an extra flavor of nobility. The ring is well fitted - it can be moved gently. On the other side of the ring we find interesting and unusual<\/strong> for information cigars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unusual information on the ring - about the admission of the Mj\u00f8lner symbol on the tombstones of American soldiers as a symbol of honor <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The annotation informs us that Thor's Hammer, as a symbol of honor, was allowed to be placed on tombstones of American soldiers. The "symbol of honor" is a reference to the legend of Mjolar. Because the mythical hammer symbolized a weapon of great power (the word Mj\u00f6lnir or Mj\u00f8lner literally means "mill"<\/strong>), only a man who was worthy of it could rule it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driven by curiosity, I checked the details of the admission by the US Department of Veterans Affairs, placing a pagan symbol on soldiers' tombstones. The consent was granted quietly in 2009, but it was subject to a very unusual condition. For a soldier must have died<\/strong>who profess the Odinite faith, which is symbolized by Mj\u00f6lnir. The fallen soldier was Shane - a sergeant in the Marine Corps, and he died in August 2012. After his death, his mother campaigned for the Department not only to allow Shane to place the Mj\u00f6lnir symbol on his tombstone, but also to let the same symbol appear on the tombstone of her husband Mark, who was buried by the Department of Veterans Affairs under an empty tombstone at on the basis of stricter rules, a few years earlier. After ten months of bureaucracy, the Department finally resigned. And Thor's Hammer appeared on the gravestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose that in addition to the information function, the ring is addressed directly to American soldiers, whose tradition is smoking cigars after successful action, or after receiving promotion. Perhaps the ring carries a message for them that brave warriors, dying in the service of their country, they can count on a burial in accordance with their values<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because of the large diameter of the cigar, I chose incision v with the cutter, which is much less of a problem than cutting with the usual cutter of the entire hood, with such a large ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
