# 500, and a Review

[ca21455]

[SIZE=3]It’s been a busy week, 4 bombs off in the mail – I’m really into that now! Cigars in, cigars out, and back in again, what a clever process![/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Been working on my review format. Using all the nice stuff posted to come up with something that will help me with my future purchases.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Hopefully through all my “fluffy-post whoring someone smiled or picked up on something ! [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Started adding on to posts to get my reviews in, that really works nice. Get to compare and see what different people think. But since this is #500…[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Cigar: Indian Tabac Super Fuerte (Honduras).[/SIZE]

Size: 7.5 x 52, Double Corona.
Wrapper: Honduran Corojo-seed natural wrapper ([SIZE=3]Habana 2000)[/SIZE] with many small veins.
Filler:4-year-aged Costa Rican, Nicaraguan and Honduran long-fillers, Nicaraguan binder.
Purchase: Mazo of 20 from CI received on 9/1/06.
Price: 29.95 / 20
Drink:Diet Cherry/Vanilla Dr Pepper
Place smoked: backyard, partly cloudy, temp = 70, humidity = 73%, time = 9:00 am
Cap: Nice cap, cut was slightly rough
Cut: Guillotine, XiKAR Xi. Cut clean and easy.
Light: Easy to light, nice even start.
Burn: a little uneven but not a problem.
Ash: light gray and flakey. Ash falls off easily, not necessarily a good thing.
Draw: very nice with good smoke volume, just the way I like it. Excellent for this size stick.
Finish: Light with tobacco flavor, would like to have a little more to it.
Body: Medium.
Strength: Mild to start and builds to medium+.
Performance: starts mild and smooth and builds slightly in the first 1/3. Fairly consistent flavor and nice even burn in last 2/3 of smoke, some hint of coco builds in about ½ way through. Last third is still nice and creamy, pretty impressive for a 7”+ stick.

Comments: Nice smooth cigar for the morning. I like the Maduro from this line better but would re-buy if on special again. Have to be careful with the easy draw since it can make the stick hot in the last half. Love their band, very nice looking and easy to remove.

I've got one resting in the humi from Ermo. I've also heard that this stick isn't quite that mild....but I haven't smoked mine yet.

I think they did have a little more kick then I described. Smoked them after a big breakfast. I did notice a buzz hanging around for awhile after I was done.

However they are not super furete as the name implies.

Congrats on the 500-nice review, sounds like a steal at $30 for 20.
