An NC review, can you believe it? I've had a hell of a time actually picking up an NC recently, but I put together a bunch to bring to work and didn't want to "waste" any of my CCs as I might have to stub one out halfway through the smoke as I fit in what I can during lunch.
So, out of the three smokes I had in the Cigar Caddy I grabbed the Wavell Maduro today. At $63 ($2.52/smoke) per box (right now from JR's, and it's a great price from everything I can see!) these are definately not a bank breaker.
An almost perfect size for a 45 minute to an hour smoke, at least for me, it is a 5x50 robusto. The wrapper was quite dark with no blemishes and just a hint of tooth. The cap was quite large allowing for some leeway in cutting. Prelight draw was nothing special, not too loose and not too tight, but more towards the loose side.
The first couple of puffs did not lead me to believe that I was in for any kind of treat, but I figured that yesterday's VR Fam probably had my palate tainted somewhat. I opened up my book and toughed it out to see where it would go.
Am I thankful I did! This is a great little maduro Robusto. Tons of smoke, great construction (finally tapped the white/grey ash after two inches to keep from wearing it) and a very sweet maduro taste. I'm still savoring the taste as I sit here wishing I had more of these in the humi! LOL.
Sorry, but I don't have my intentory here, so here's a thanks to whatever Bro' gifted this to me!
