Puros Ache'

[TSoprano]

I got a sampler a few days ago with two cigars. I smoked the maduro and it was decent thoughout the first inch or so, had kinda a bitter taiste like it needed some age, but nothing terrable. However, at one point the cigar shot out four or five "sparks", not just like a few embers falling, like bright white magnesium sparks. I stoped smoking it at that point out of pure shock. I'll try the other one at some point.

Whoa...combusting cigars, huh? Never seen that happen before.

Well, I smoked one of the samples I received. It was the belicoso natural. The burn was not even, although I might not have lit it right. It was really mild...almost too mild with very little taste in my mouth. I will smoke the Toro tomorrow, hopefully it will be better.

I received a sampler and a catalog from them today. I'll let them rest for a week or so and give one a try. Good customer service so far.

Had a Toro habana maduro this weekend. This was the second one of the samples that I have smoked. I wasn't too impressed with the first one. It was a little too bitter for me. After about 6 months in the humi most of the bitterness is gone. I only picked up a little salty taste from the wrapper before lighting. This one was on the lighter side of medium with a hint of spice here and there. Great burn and lots of smoke. Overall it was a decent smoke depending on the price.
