I didn’t get much flavor out of it, it burned unevenly I had to touch it up a couple times in the first half. After about the 1/2 way point I set it down to load the planter then relit about 45 minutes later & it was about like eating a mouthful of pepper. I had pretty high expectations after doing some reading on them. I will give one another try at a later date when I am just sitting around relaxing to see if things have changed any.
This one is a mowing cigar, if it hadn’t rained last night. In this cigars defense, it’s one of the ones that got poofy in the high humidity humidor. I have had a 5 of them segregated for a while now with some unhydrated Heartfelt beads. It had actually firmed up so the high humidity may have messed with it a bit but I had no problems with the burn on it.
Today's smoke while on the riding mower. It was better than the last time I had one but don't think I'd order them again.
Last evenings selection. Couldn't enjoy it as I made the poor decision to sit on the dock with the wind in my face. You wouldn't believe just how much that screwed up the burn......and in a hurry too! Incidentally, I see a whole bunch of drew estates cigar line on CI's MMAO. ????
I am amazed at how much even a light breeze (around 5mph) can have an effect on the burn of a cigar, let alone a 10mph or breeze.
Either Thompsons or CI had a special either end of last week or over the weekend on DE Legends Black.
These look rather interesting & tasty but at over $8 a cigar, it would be a lot if you didn’t like them. Vegafina 1998 VF52
Enjoyed one last evening while hot tubbing watching “the office” with my bride. I think it was the sweet tip maduro from Westin that JimBear sent. Was a great smoke. Good flavor and good smoke with a easy, clean draw
I’m glad you liked it, I thought the one I had was pretty good also. Next time I am thru that area I plan on grabbing a Connecticut & Habano to try also & maybe some more Maduros.
I really enjoyed this one, I was a bit skeptical going in but it turned out to be a good one. It was one of the first cigars I bought in a sampler pack.
I was thinking I would let this rest for a couple weeks or a month but I can’t help myself. Two days it’s going to be. Now I know what they mean when something smells barn yardy. Wow they are odoriferous. Royal Corona
I’ll take your word for it. My youngest daughter is getting a box, my son & I will split them for Father’s Day.
Remember, I've had them sitting for a couple of years too. They are rolled with a hole remaining it the head so no need for a punch or cutter. I usually enjoy them down to 1/3. Had another one yesterday while setting minnow traps in a new location. The last locations just didn't produce good enough. Hope you two enjoy them!
