The End of an Era is Near | Cigar Reviews by the Katman

I don’t have early onset of Alzheimer’s Disease as was previously proscribed.
I have Middle Stage Alzheimer’s Disease.
I’ve not told anyone as I felt I could still function. It has now become too difficult.

The symptoms of Middle Stage are:

1. Forgetfulness of events or about one’s own personal history.
2. Feeling moody or withdrawn, especially in socially or mentally challenging situations.
3. Being unable to recall their own address or telephone number or the high school or college from which they graduated.
4. Confusion about where they are or what day it is.
5. The need for help choosing proper clothing for the season or the occasion.
6. Trouble controlling bladder and bowels in some individuals.
7. Changes in sleep patterns, such as sleeping during the day and becoming restless at night.
8. An increased risk of wandering and becoming lost.
9. Personality and behavioral changes, including suspiciousness and delusions or compulsive, repetitive behavior like hand-wringing or tissue shredding.

I have all of the above.
Yes, I seem to be able to remember things that happened decades ago but that is normal.

The confusion is overwhelming. One of the distressing symptoms is that I lose cigars I intended to review. I have no idea how this happens, but it does.

I plan to make my last review on my 66th birthday: February 10, 2016.

I plan to still review cigars until then but it won’t be everyday as I have a very limited supply. Just a few cigars left. But I will continue to smoke cigars, as I can afford them, because the only time I can find my smile is when I am smoking a good cigar.

So I would like to go out with a bang.
I would like to review a killer cigar.
If you have any suggestions, and I can afford it, I will do your bidding. So take your time. The deadline will be the end of January so I can at least let the cigar rest a couple weeks before the review.

There is a very special group of people who have helped me with money for medical bills and donating cigars. I will honor them all, and thank them, on my last review.

And I will thank all the wonderful people who send me emails and messages and comments on Feb. 10.

It’s been an honor to have so many readers that look to me for the real low down on cigars. I appreciate every single one of you.

I will not take the site down. It stays up as long as I’m alive. The catalog is just too big to toss away.

So, I look forward to your suggestions for that right cigar to review on my birthday.

Much love and respect,
Your Uncle Katman
