I'm just lighting up #1 from Superchuck as I type this...it has the nicer wrapper of the two, smooth and well applied with only minor veininess. The wrapper is chipped in one spot and flaking a little there, but nothing to make it unsmokable. My pre-light draw was fairly mild, but not unpleasant. I'll update this when I'm done. Or maybe as I go, we'll see.
1st edit: It's got a firm draw, but not enough to make it difficult. It actually kinda helps slow me down, as I tend to smoke pretty fast. Ash made it to a little over an inch before it fell. First impression of taste is that it's fairly mild but I can't really describe it yet. I've never been able to taste leather in a cigar, though a couple have given me noticable hints of coconut. Is that weird? Anyway, I'll try not to update till I get a ways into the smoke, as this post could get pretty freaking big the way I ramble.
#2: Not even a third in. I'm very impressed with how well I am taking my time. Anyway, It's picking up in strength as I go. Still not major but it might be mild-medium now. I kinda hope it levels out. I like a good strong cigar, but I usually don't smoke this early in the day. I'm actually getting a hint of that coconut thing I was talking about. It seems fairly common for me so I'm thinking there is just something about cigar smoke that strikes my effed up brain as coconutty. It doesn;t reallly taste like coconut, but the taste reminds me of coconut. If that makes any sense at all.
