 Reduced saturation, some highlight recovery and noise reduction. Then auto color gave me the best color fix. Cropped, added border, save for web.

The Joya De Nicaragua is a great cigar, but doing this photo shoot with the stub made me dizzy and sick! I had to set the camera aside and lay down for a half hour!
