Now that the smoke-volume experiments have been done, I am curious to hear how the Experiments tasted!
We purposely didnt take any notes on the taste profile, trying to keep the review more focused
although here is what I remember. I smoked the Experiment 1 cigar with just the wrapper replaced. It definitely went from a full body to more of medium cigar. To be honest, it was enjoyable. It had a slight honey sweetness with a nutty and a very faint graham cracker flavor. The taste difference between it and a regular No. 9 was truly remarkable. Believe it or not it kind of reminded me of a stronger Jamie Garcia NE Edition Connecticut that you can get at Federal, but not nearly as complex
. And a dash of Liga twang with the candle-like aroma that affects your palate slightly, if you know what I mean... all good.
W.B. would have to comment on the Experiment 2 cigar, but I don't remember him having a glowing opinion of it.
Would you guys agree that not only are Ligas smoke "heavy" but also blue smoke production orientated and thus lending to the idea of a more noticeable smoke output?
Thats an interesting observation. I think the contrast of the really dark wrapper and smoke color does accentuate the appearance of a lot of smoke
what I mean is with the Connecticut wrapper you are not going to visually see the contrast as easily between the wrapper and the smoke. Regardless I think theres a ton of smoke. Great point man
I wish I would have thought to include that point.
My wife wanted to take a photo of the smoke against a consistent back-drop and then use Photoshop to somehow measure the density of the smoke
that was getting way too technical for my tastes
LOL. My head was spinning but we got a good laugh with the idea.
