(From stogiereview.com http://www.stogiereview.com/2007/10/...ne-68-bombone/ )
Size: 4 x 44
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Smoking Time: 40 minutes


Pre-light: Earthy, nutty. Good draw
(no image, forgot to take one)


First 1/3: Nutty, buttery flavor. Slight peppery at first but went away.



Second 1/3: Slightly creamy. Still buttery. Ash was about 1.5". Even burn



Last 1/3: Still buttery and creamy. Nutty here and there.


Here was something I noticed. There was a hole that appeared after the ash fell. What would cause that hole?



Overall it was a very good cigar. Nice and quick. Pleasant flavor. Very thick smoke throughout the entire length. Here is where I stopped smoking it because it was just getting too hot to hold.


I'm definitely going to have to look for more of these.

(Search found 2 other reviews but they were almost a year old so I thought I'd throw this up here.)

Typically the center vein of a tobacco leaf.

I haven't had the 68, but I am on kind of an Illusione kick right now. I would definitely recommend the CG4, HL, and the ECCJ.

Thanks for the review!
