Construction
Comments:
Terrible. The other three had nice construction. This one looked like a 50
cent cigar. |
Pre-light
Aroma and Flavor:
Typical tobacco flavors. |
Burn:
Not terrible, but the poor construction led to a flaky burn, which drives
me nuts!! Now my shirt & keyboard are covered in ash!! |
Drink:
None |
Smoking Notes:
I REALLY did NOT want to smoke nor like this cigar!! The first of the four
was really good. The other two were not. This one looked like crap, but
tasted really nice for the first half!! I wanted to hate this cigar, but
did not. The first half flavor made me really enjoy it. But, then that
flavor totally disappeared. I gave it about another inch & still nothing!!
It was strange. It was like smoking air. No flavor at all!! I guess it
would be good if SUPER, SUPER mild was your thing…but if it is, I have a
nice Padron 1964 Maduro that will make you change your mind!! On top of
that the second half saw the flaky ash get really messy!! So now, I am
pitching this dog turd & instead of being relaxed & enjoying my smoking
time I am pissed at the way it behaved & covered me on ashes!! |
Overall Experience and Rating:
Had that good flavor lasted the whole way through I would be able to
overlook the ashy mess it made. But the damn flavor left, which pissed me
off even more because it was like it was teasing me. I want to give it a
D-, but since I really did enjoy the first 30 minutes I will be kind &
give it a C-. |

Smooth wrapper, vein not visible. |
Pre-light Aroma and Flavor:
Cocoa and citrus sweet. |

Easy draw. Ash was grey-white and very flaky, after about an inch, it
dropped, subsequent drop was at about half inch intervals. Flavors include
cocoa, coffee and citrus sweet with a hint of cinnamon through out. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
This is a medium bodied smoke. Most detectable flavors are cocoa and
coffee. B |

Construction
Comments:
Conny, a little veiny, slightly soft. |
Pre-light Aroma and
Flavor:
Earthy |
Burn:
A little uneven. One side tried to run about ½"-1" ahead. Needed a few
touchups. |
Drink:
Vodka Tonic |
Smoking Notes:
Definitely on the sweet side! Decent flavor overshadowed by the sweetness.
About halfway through, the sweetness started to subside. Tons of white
smoke. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
C+ (sweetness brought the grade down) |
