Review - Thompsons - Victor Sinclair Especiales - 2 - Robusto
DATE: 2006/06/28
REVIEWER: Timothy "Texan_To_The_End" Piper CIGAR: Victor Sinclair Especiales SIZE: 5.50 X 50 ORIGIN: Unknown. WRAPPER: Unknown. BINDER: Unknown. FILLER: Unknown. SHAPE: Robusto AGE: Unknown. In my humidor since 2006/06/06. VENDOR: Gifted by RHarris for "Thompson Review Project". (Thanks again!) PRICE: Unknown. AMBIENCE: 9:30AM Wednesday; warm & sunny, but only slightly humid. BEVERAGE: None. APPEARANCE: Lumpy veiny non-oily wrapper. The foot showed that the filler was very poorly rolled. I even took an extra picture so y'all could see what it looked like. There were several really soft spots on the cigar also. PRE_LIGHT: Smelled vaguely of cocoa, but not much scent at all. DRAW: Fair draw, but a bit too loose for my taste. FIRST_THIRD: Underlying taste was sort of cocoa, but a very bitter taste from the wrapper overwhelmed it completely. Doesn't taste good at all so far. SECOND_THIRD: Took the whole first third for the bitterness to fade out and some of the natural flavors came through at last. It was like cocoa and just a bit buttery, but sort of on the bland side. FINAL_THIRD: Stayed the same to the bitter end except for getting a bit harsh also. BURN: Rather uneven burn with a big canoe in the middle. ASH: White fluffy ash which blew all over the place. SMOKE: Lots of white smoke but almost tasteless. STRENGTH: Bitter turning mild turning harsh. FLAVOUR: Bitter cocoa? Is that a flavor? FINISH: None at all, fortunately. SMOKE_TIME: 40 minutes, and I didn't finish it either. IMPRESSION: This looked like it was a "practice roll" by some beginner roller, not a finished product that I'd ever offer for sale. RATING: 2 out of a possible TEN wooden matchsticks. COMMENTS: I really wonder where Thompson's gets these cigars from. Job lots bought on a dock in Singapore? I do *not* recommend smoking one of these, even if it were free. (The things I suffer to get good information to Club Stogie...) PICTURES: http://tinyurl.com/omaxh -&- http://tinyurl.com/n7e9k |

I am sorry that you had to suffer through that experience, but what were you expecting from a Thompson Cigar?
