Puro Pot Pass 7

[S.A.W.B.]

Boom... Got it.

Just got off the phone with my wife. She said there was a package for me at the door when she got home. I asked her to open it, and she said it was some "stinkies" as she likes to call them. I asked her to toss them in the wineador for me.

I'll be back home in a few weeks. Review and guess will follow soon thereafter.

Take your time.

Well, I got home earlier than expected. I'll be smoking this behemoth shortly.

Lots of rain today, so the venue for the smoke was my garage. Watching Wolverine on HBO ,while I'm sitting comfortably in the drivers seat of my Teryx4LE with a bottled water in one of the cup holders, and an ashtray in another. I'll transition to a draft Sierra Nevada Pale Ale at some point though.

First things first...this is a BIG smoke. Larger than I'm used to, but that's a good thing. I'm always game for something new. I'd guess the size to be a 6 x 60ish.

Nice reddish brown hue on the wrapper, and nicely rolled. Smells nice, no mustiness or manure tones, just somewhat sweet and spicy fresh tobacco smell. Similar to a freshly opened pack of American Spirit Organic.

I chose a V-cut, due to the girth of this monstrosity. I was afraid of it being too airy. The V-cut was perfect. Not too loose, and not too tight...just right.

I torched the end with a XiKar, and then used a Bic to light her up. Good flavor, and a good amount of smoke. I did kind of expect more smoke though.

As I suspected, the flavor was good. Fairly one dimensional, but good. I'd say the flavor was in the medium range, with the strength starting out the same. As i continued to smoke, I'd say that both flavor and strength have intensified somewhat.

The cigar stayed lit the entire time. I touched it up a couple times, just to keep it even. Probably not necessary, but I like fire.

In the end, I'm glad this was my naked Puro. Not something I would probably buy, but happy for the opportunity. The movie wasn't that great, but the overall experience was very enjoyable.

I've ruled out Cuban, Nicaraguan and Dominican. It reminded me of a couple cigars I've had that a buddy of mine shared with me. I don't think they were puros, but definitely similar nonetheless.

My guess is Honduran.

Thank you very much for the smoke S.A.W.B., I enjoyed it.

You are very welcome. It was a 6x60 medium to full.
