Don Lugo quick review LOL

[veteranvmb]

I picked up a month or more ago, a humidor I wanted on thompson, and they through in 25 cigars and a lighter for 25 bucks including shipping.
They smelled real bad, and have been "loosening up for a month" in the humidor.
So I go to smell them and they dont smell so bad anymore. LOL
The wife was going into the grocery store and I thought I have about 45 minutes to spare, and if she finishes early, I will have to ditch the cigar. So I said, lets try one of those don lugos. This way I wouldnt care about ditching it.
This is my first review of a cigar and it is short, so please forgive my style.
It looks like a corona sized(maybee a little thicker then that. )
It lit up just fine with a single torch lighter, even though it was very windy that day.
Very little scent or smell. I went to take my first kiss of the cigar, and the I said to myself, the draw was not bad. The taste and flavor was almost non existant.
The first third, was a very cool, flavorless smoke, but the cigar stayed instact real nice, and the ash stayed on the cigar, till I asked it to leave.
The second third was a continuation of the 1st. Nice draw, cool smoke, non descript but not unenjoyable for basically a free cigar.
By the last third, I was enjoying myself, and my cell rang, and the wife said come and get her. I put it out, and said, "not bad for a buck cigar"
Now I know, when I am uncertain how much time I will have to smoke, and dont want to waste anything good, I can always light up a don lugo, and even after a couple of puffs have to trash it, no matter. I will not be buying anymore of them, but will certainly use them up.

Much regards Jerry

I think I bought the same humi and sampler. There were a couple pleasant sticks in there but I agree with you on the Don, not a very flavorful smoke. Thanks for the review.
