The 25 Wheel Exerience

[z_crase]

I just arrived from Missouri to North Carolina, and i thought I might enjoy a cigar. My brother offered me a 25 Wheel stogie. I cut it with a Palio cutter and I drew on it unlit and it had a spicy taste, not overpowering, but good. The cigar was well lit with a full turn and about 5 or 6 draws. The first initial taste was smoth. Over the balcony 2 or 3 boats were coming in as the crossed the threshold of the horizon. I imagined how fun the summer was to be when i took another draw.

My draws are carried out but puffing 3 times and the forth I leave in my mouth to taste. The cigar had a more complex taste now 1 inch into into it. Then like majic on the next draw I experience a sharp tarty sensation. While carelessly sipping on my DeerPark water, the ash fell. At that point the 25 Wheel was burning about 90% symetrical with a med-light ash shade. I recognized great ring definition while sitting back. The pool below us glowed in the green neon light that illuminated it.

2 inches into my cigar, it was burning at a 45 degree angle. So i corrected it.

At 2.5 inches the taste was slighly harsh after correction, it made my mouth water and I spit over the balcony trying to miss the neighboors conversing among each other. The harshness burned my throat.

Even after three inches there was still an uneven burn. Even under the condition of the uneven burning the aroma made my tongue tingle. It was a pleasant surprise. My buddies commented on how great it smelled.

The sun had set now and my cigar sat smoking in a Macanudo cigar ash tray and had been for five minutes. After a few more drinks of water the cigar had a damp smoky taste, not bad, ut damp.

After 4.5 it was easier to draw, as the rings of the light ash resembeled the ring of a tree trunk. The 25 Wheel was at an 80% burn.

I took break and went for a piss. My friend Doug was playing online poker and obviously was winning because he often made comments to me of what not to do in certain situation of Texas Hold 'em. I returned to find my cigar had ashed itself while lieing in the ash tray. Disapointed with what i had found, I went back inside to get an ice pack to ice my knee. I hurt it playing baseball and it had filled with fluid.

With the ice on my knee, stogie in my mouth, the hot sausages that had been on the grill were finished. The flavor of the sausages and returned the flavor of the stogie back to its intitial smooth taste.

The best part however was getting the buzz. And it was a note to end on. With the stogie half smoked and an hour into it. I put it down.

In the future I'll smoke it again and perhaps the exerience will change.

Fresh Rolled Wheels I think. Usually come in 25 or 50. No band usually.

Nice review but to clarify, are we talking about Perdomo?

Guys, this is actually a blend #7 from thecigarFO.com. We purchased them a couple of years ago. They just have a gold band on the bottom. Nothing else. Great smoke for the money.
