White Owl is a classic cigar that's rich in history, dating back to 1887. White Owl cigars are machine made in Dothan, Alabama, U.S.A. with a sheet-type wrapper and binder that encases a mixed filler tobacco blend from five nations which give an extra mildness and fine taste”.

Up for review, a trifecta of flavors, available at gas stations and convenience stores across the country!

WHITE OWL FLAVORS



These cigars are presented in a unique way, for convenience, the band is connected with the outer cellophane wrap, providing a simple “pull to open” feature. Very slick! The band itself is a model of ingenuity providing not only a means to open the cigar, but also color coded to indicate flavor, and bar coded for speedy checkout at you’re place of purchase.

First up – White Owl Pineapple



Size, approximately 5 X 42
Wrapper, tan construction paper.
Binder, unknown, but seems to be more of the wrapper material.
Filler, unknown, possibly pine-straw and lawn trimmings.

Upon opening the cello, you are greeted IMMEDIATELY, with a strong “pineapple-ish” aroma that cloys at the senses like a Jolly-Rancher candy that has been wrapped in sweaty gym socks. So much for first impressions!
Construction seems OK, no soft spots, smooth wrapper, decent bunching evident at the foot. Another interesting feature is the pre-punched cap, eliminating the need to carry that expensive cutter everywhere you go!

Bringing this cigar to my lips, I’m confronted with a very strong, bittersweet continuation of the pineapple-sweat-sock sensation.. For a lighter, I used a trusty Ronson Jet-Light, which took care of business quite nicely

First third-

For those of you who like a lot of smoke from your cigars, this one will not disappoint. However, those who like a lot of blue, acrid, pine straw, construction paper, lawn trimming, tire-fire, pineapple-ish flavored smoke, this is the cigar for you! Burn is flawless, razor straight, and continues this way to the end. Ash is bright white, and fairly dense, falling off after reaching a respectable length of over one inch.



Second Third- More of the same



Final Third- Still more of the same



Conclusions-

If you are looking for that special cigar to celebrate that recent promotion, or closing of escrow on your first house, look somewhere else.

If, however, you enjoy having your senses pummeled by noxious, acrid smoke, reminiscent of Jolly Rancher candy, blended with a perfectly balanced bouquet of sneaker insoles, leaf blower detritus, and burning Firestone tractor tires, look no further than White Owl Pineapple!

Now, If you'll excuse me, I need to brush my teeth, wash my mouth out with battery acid, clean my ashtray, and spray my clothes down with febreze!
