The KC/DW Review Series

[King Catfish]

Couple = 2.........to try = Georges Reserve........WTF, I received an awesome package today, and you failed miserably on both parameters. I can't wait to try the Geroges you sent......and their companions are stellar choices!!

You are certainly a most generous BOTL!! Many thanks!!

I can vouch for DW's generosity. It's not a new habit for him.

Damn nice review KC....I've missed reading them.

Gaaaw-leee KC. You hide out for months... you must have been working on this review. I had to take a break and get another beer. Very good. I do like the Perdomo's.

Decadence and Luxury.

Rolled by the best torcedores (cadre) using the best raw materials, this flawless combination is designated "Level 7". Aged Dominican fillers wrapped in beautiful chocolate-brown Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf equals a delicious and sumptuous one-of-a-kind.

A nearly veinless, drum-tight wrapper gave some clue that this might just be a really, really good cigar. The fact that it was a Montecristo gave it some merit too! I didn't play with it too long before I was toasting the foot and drooling at the mouth. I did a v-cut and achieved a perfect draw, surprising as this was a very tight roll. I immediately kicked back and began to enjoy some heavenly flavors. So complex and earthy with a smooth finish. I got some sweet and salty contrast, the best I can describe it would be honey-roast peanuts. The burn was even, centered cone, crisp light ash, pleasant after-taste. Of course I nubbed it. The only disappointing thing about this cigar is that it was the only one. But, thank you logan37, I did have the pleasure!

On a scale of 1-10 I rate this cigar 93.

I'm really happy that you enjoyed the 7, DW. They really are a great smoke. And I thought you said you hated Montes.

I have more if you want to work something out.

[DeeDubya]

And I thought you said you hated Montes.

I did. I thought if I said that I hated them then you would try to prove to me that they were good by sending me one to try. It worked!

Just Kidding - Thanks bro

HA! I'm such a sucker. Well played sir.

Wow, sounds like a real winner!

Hi King Catfish

Nice Review :)

I bought the Shorty's to have something to smoke when it gets cold around here and I can't last the full length of a regular sized cigar.

The ones I sent you have spent about 10 months in my humidor.

I get them from Cigars International and the only thing I have been able to track down is that they are hand rolled in Danli’s San Marco factory.

They do get hot if you pull on them too much but I've always liked the flavor.

Thanks for the Review!

Good review KC,
Sounds pretty good for a small vitola. I rarely smoke anything less than 48. For me the larger rings burn cooler, mellower and of course longer. JMO
Have a good Thanksgiving.
