Hey yall,
I'm really new to this site. My name is Dave, 20 years old,
and I have been smoking cigars for a year and a half. This is my first review.
Excalbur III Maduro
Price-$6.20 a stick at a local cigar shop.
Prelight Impressions-Smooth silkly wrapper with a couple of nice medium veins, and a great milk chocolate color. I am guessing that it is about a 48 ring gadge.
First Aroma-When lighting the cigar gave out a distinct expresso smell.
First inch-First few draws from the cigar were a light chocolate cream favor. The smoked with a nice even and easy draw. The ash was a perfect salt and pepper complextion. With an even burn.
Middle-After the first ash droped the favor changed to a slightly stronger coffee favor, still with a very smooth cream taste. Continuing on the cigar built in strength and gave the impression of a nutty expresso. Hints of almond and walnut encompassed the ash.
I wish I could put more photos of later on in the smoke but it started to rain which cut my camra time short.
However the cigar finshed with a very strong expresso flavor that had begun to develop in the first two inches. I am happy to say the Excal mantained its rich creamy chocolate flavor untill the very last puff. This cigar left me totally satisfied, and was an excellecent smoke. I give it an 8/10. Definatly will smoke this one again.
Happy Smoking
Dave
