Tandem review with my wife

Smoke(s) Camacho Diploma ~ Scorpion
Drink(s): Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale (me); Water (wife)
Tunes: None

Wrapper: Honduran Corojo
Binder: Honduran Corojo
Filler: Honduran Corojo
Draw: Me: Light / Wifey: Open / Smooth
Burn: (Both) Good
Misc: 60mins +/-

Pre-light (Me): Figurado shape, Colorado maduro shade wrapper. Musty / musky prelight scent. Leather on the cut prelight taste.
Pre-light (Wifey): The Scorpions are a good band! Cigar smells like feet. I don’t care for the brown on the label.



Light (Both): Easy

1st 3rd (Me): A little spicy with a creamy aspect. Oil and sweet tobacco tastes. Medium to full body with medium flavor. Smooth.
1st 3rd (Wifey): Spicy…first third is rather spicy.



Ash (Me): Stacked black and gray with ash bubbles. Holds on for over 1 ¼”
Ash (Wifey): I habitually knock my ash off.



2nd 3rd (Me): Less spicy. Oily with leather and a little on the bitter side…just a bit. Earthy tones.
2nd 3rd (Wifey): Spicy, but has a definitely smoothed out. Has a mushroom soil flavor.



3rd 3rd (Me): Oily, smooth but still a little bitter. Earthy and now some woodsy notes.
3rd 3rd (Wifey): Has really mellowed out. Creamy. Hint of spice.



Overall impression (Me): Good but not for the MSRP. I probably won’t look for more.
Overall impression (Wifey): Just sort of average.

Very good review.

I really enjoy looking at your a$$......tray! Ashtray sorry.

For real though, that is one sick ashtray, you should use it more often.

As usual, nice review. I agree with your assessment of that cigar.

But no music? I can't do anything without music.

Nice review. I happen to like these.

Gotta love those tandem reviews. Very nice review you two! Roger. (I think I gaged in my mind at the thought of a cigar smelling like feet). Oh well!

Wife - It is interesting to see the degree of specificity in flavor description. I agree about the band. It blends in too much. I think I'll skip this one for now.

Will - change your socks.
