The KC/DW Review Series

[ashauler]

Nice review once again DW!! A "9" rated $4 smoke is what we need more of!!

[logan37]

Great review DW. I really enjoy these sticks as well. I have a few left but they are on my "box" purchase list when I start buying boxes. I'm happy you liked it.

Rich hooked me up with a few during a recent trade. Now I can't wait to try them. Thanks, man.

Ola,

Logan37 included one of these in an "IED" that he put together for me. It blew me away. While not an expensive stick it can hold it's own with other more expensive maduros like RP's, Olivas, etc.

Reportedly dyed to make them coal-black, I could care less. There are many little tricks to make a cigar look inviting but the end result is what counts and the Espresso is delicious. The Mexican maduro wrapper conceals a blend of "some tastey long-fillers". I don't know what but would guess maybe Dominican and Mexican. Maybe it's a well kept secret, but certainly a masterful blend.

Toasting immediately released an impressive cloud of thick creamy smoke with the essence of fresh roast coffee beans. It drew well and burned uniformly. Soon a nice grayish/white, crisp ash "I think the contrast with a dark cigar can make it look whiter) had reached a couple inches without falling. Cocao, coffee, nuts, hell this is like a candy bar. I was tempted to bite off a piece and chew it. JK

I chose a Shiner Black Lager to accompany this dark vivacious Senorita. Good choice, although maybe a little too much sweetness. Next time I'll try one with a couple fingers of Patron or Sauza Hornitos (can make you horny). Ole'.

On a scale of 1-10 I rate this cigar 8.

Hi everyone, nice reviews while I have been away. I apologize for my absence; I'm having financial troubles and I'm working a lot of overtime. (Plus, I have to admit I have FINALLY decided to start learning jazz guitar, which I have wanted to do since I was a teenager a couple of decades ago. I love it and it takes a lot of time to learn [and I am a musical moron].)

DW, you are mistaken, no spousal pressure. (My wife totally rocks!) This is all my own internal pressure, although she does seem to get concerned about purchases of expensive cigars, even though she does occasionally smoke one. [Thanks to you, DW, she turns her nose up at anything that's not a Special G or a Hemingway Short Story. Good thing she only smokes about one per month.])

I miss you guys.

On a brighter note, I have updated the index in the first post of this thread....AND I have started a dog-rocket review thread for grins and giggles.

Damn good to have you back posting my friend!! The frickin' economy has kicked us all in the crotch lately. Keep on keepin' on, it'll come around.

Steven,
First my bad for assuming, although spousal pressure is not uncommon, rightfully so or the boys would spend all the money on toys and bad habits.
I think the dog-rocket thread is a good idea. We all smoke them, so let's give the good ones a little praise.
Again, thanks for keeping the index current on this thread.

No worries, my friend. It's a very reasonable assumption. :)

Good to see you again, KC! Welcome back!
The current economic times have affected us, as well. We've gotten our tail kicked all over the place, but remain optimistic that things will turn around.
