Kinky Friedman Cigar Review Series

[DeeDubya]

Good review. I think maybe a no-nonsense type cigar is what Kinky was striving for. I wonder if Willie actually had any influence on his namesake? Also, you didn't say anything about any seeds poping or euphoric hunger spasms or the like?

Maybe he saved it for the Utopian!!

Willie hasn't rolled a seed since 1968

Utopian

The Utopian is another Toro size cigar, this one is 6" X 52, again of marvelous construction. Thick leatherlike wrapper, almost shiny, dark habano color. Very firm, no yield to finger pressure. Prelight aroma at the foot is nearly identical to the Jewboy, sweet with sense of raisins being the most dominant scent.
Cut and lit same as previous cigars, although this one had an ever so slightly tighter draw, it was well within my preferences.

First third of the Utopian was barely distinguishable from the Jewboy, in terms of flavor, burn, however was much improved. staying right on track, producing a nice white ash with none of the black blotches. Unlike the previous two cigars, this one didn't build in strength at the middle. Rather it seemed to smooth out along the upper medium bodied lines, staying very civilized. like Willie, never getting hot or bitter. The last portion of this cigar did seem to pick up a bit on the "tobacco-y" flavors, but as with the willie, it did seem rather one sided.

Overall, I would say I enjoyed this one also, but I see a trend developing in the fact that none of these so far have blown me away. I purchased this sampler from anpother BOTL at what was probably very close to MSRP, if not less, about $8.00 a stick, and most will tell you there are MANY world-class cigars in this price range. I'll reserve comments in this area untill I have finished the series.

On the ole rating scale, I'm giving this one another 8.5

The Kinkycristo was just on cigarmonster. I saw this thread was bumped but by the time I came back looking for your review the deal was gone.
