her father’s humidor
 
the scent of cedar
and a lone Montecristo
he’d reserved for occasion
 
rise up to meet her
almost before she opens the lid

Hi Tiger,
I get some melancholy of a special cigar never smoked.  Putting 'almost' in the last line is striking to me.  Suggests a half forgotten memory of the father.  
Well done,
steve

Thanks Steve. Sometimes a somewhat simple word can be your best friend. In this case, I was asking "almost" to do quite a bit of work. Thanks for noticing.
