Burn: Good
Misc: 90+ minutes.

Pre-light: Beautiful cigar. Plume. No pre-light flavor.

Light: Easy light. Here we go!

1st 3rd: Nutty. Tobacco. Dry taste. Medium body. There's a salty aftertaste to it. Its different. Mellow. There's a grassy light aftertaste in the smoke. Nice sofar.

Ash: Nice white. Chunky. Doesn't look to strong. Holding its own. Goes for 1" long.

2nd 3rd: Flavor profile similar to the 1st 3rd. Medium nose exhale burn. Medium body confirmed. Medium flavor. Nutty & salty dominant. Slight woodsy.

3rd 3rd: Creamy, nutty, woodsy, salty goodness! Can't say much more than that.

Overall impression: This one goes to the pipe. (that speaks volumes Thanks bro for this one! (Hope you get your AC fixed soon ;)

How does piping off the rest affect the flavor? Never tried that before. Does it smoke well all the way to the end or is there a limit to how far down you would want to smoke it. i.e. only as far as you see in the pic above. Roger

Roger,

I'm a smoking junkie first off. When I'm sitting here, and I don't want a really nice cigar to end, I put it in the pipe, just to keep smoking, basically.

To answer your question directly, It does affect the taste, as you get down to the bowl. Plus, I haven't really cleaned my pipe out ever, so there's all kinds of tar & resin in there affecting the flavor.

Its still enjoyable, for me, down until it starts to "gurgle" in the pipe, and then I get whacked with a super bitter, nasty tar taste everytime.

Again, I'm just a smoking junkie.

As always, good informative review. I have a quick question, which I think I know the answer to; I just want confirmation. When you say nose exhale, you are referring to sort of shifting the smoke into the back of your mouth and blowing out your nose? Cause I really can't imagine the alternative.

As a cigarette smoker, I will very rarely take a full drag from my cigar, forget what I'm doing and inhale... then spend the next few minutes coughing uncontrollably with tears streaming from my eyes. Talk about ruining a good smoke. Fortunately, that's only happened a couple times.

Yep. That's what I'm talking about. I find I am probably doing it more than I should, but I enjoy it.

Thanks,
Will

Thanks for that. I used to smoke pipe many years ago. Everything you said made perfect sense. DUH on me! LOL. Would using a hemostat, pic above really work? How would you clip it without destroying the draw? Just nip the wrapper a bit and hope you don't burn your nose off? LOL. Just a thought. Roger.
