It was unusally humid for the Central Valley this evening. So I decide, hey, let's light up a couple of Bug torches and sit out on the deck and enjoy a stick.
I rummage through my singles humi and pull out what I am hoping is a nice evening smoke. Having more than a couple to choose from, I select this awesome looking stick and head out.
The pre-light inspection reveals a dark wrapper that's decieving. A couple of veins and nary a soft spot. I sniff the foot and the hint of sweetness and tobacco and I am teeming with anticipation. I clip the head and the pre-light draw was medium and I am ready to partake.
Once I warm the foot, the light is a cinch. It was downhill from there.
What they bill as a "Full flavor, extremely complex stick, is the most one-dimensional stick I have had in quite some time. Not wanting to give up on this too soon, I smoke it for about an inch and still nothing. The only positive thing I can say is that the ash held on for a good long time.
I was sorely disappointed with this stick.
I cannot recommend this dog rocket to anyone.
