This evening I will smoke a big cigar. I could see Paul Bunyon puffing one of these after a 64oz Porterhouse. For me it's a little too big. Being a generous contribution from King Catfish I will give it my best shot.

A little research indicates a blend of rare Italian and Piloto Cubano Dominican fillers. The wrapper is a jet black triple-fermented Brazilian maduro leaf. A very nice oily sheen and toothy to the touch, it is an impressive looking stick.

This heavy duty maduro certainly did have that "manure" aroma discussed elsewhere in this forum. I imagine "triple-fermenting" would have something to do with that. Toasting didn't reveal anything different than any other maduro other than taking a while to get it glowing. The first half was fairly mild for a reputedly full-bodied smoke with plenty rich sweetness and smooth tobacco taste. However, I did detect some slight ammonia on the palate, again probably due to the triple-fermenting.
The firm ash held for about 3" until I tipped it, afraid that it would fall unexpectedly and cause some discomfort with it's inch wide coal aglow.

At halfway the heavy layers of tabacco flavor were getting my attention but I had to search for "special" flavors other than just plain rich tobacco. The ammonia scents went away and it settled in to what turned out to be a pretty decent stick. It did burn a little uneven toward the end but not unmanageable. The ash was never pure white in keeping with a good maduro and had some large dark clouds that I think were due to the binder and not the wrapper.

All in all I was not impressed but it might be just the stogie for someone like, well, Paul Bunyon or Monica Lewinski.

On a scale of 1-10 I will give it a 7.
