Thanks bigwhiteash for the sticks. Here is the review for cigar #1.
This was a toro sized stick with a dark smooth wrapper. It felt solid, didn't give too much, and in general looked of good construction.
I enjoyed a Dr. Pepper with this smoke.
After the cut the pre-light draw was just a tad loose for my liking, but the flavor was right on.
It lit up very easily and once lit, the draw was pleasant as well. First thing I noticed is that this seems to be a rather mild smoke, maybe at the milder end of medium. I'm not seeing as much smoke coming off the cigar as I am used to. I don't know if its because it was chilly outside today or what. The cigar didn't change much throughout, just a steady mild, woody flavor.
Slight burn issues but nothing that effected the experience.
I would probably enjoy this as a morning smoke with some coffee.
Review #2 should be up tomorrow.
spiffy
