Quickie Review #3 - Black Pearl___ Ultra Quick Edition

[mwlabel]

Stick:
La Perla Habana Grand D Robusto (5.25 x 52)

Price: $? usd
Drink of choice: Arnold Palmer

Construction:
*/10
Very firm feel. Clips easily. Very sloppy patch on the wrapper.

Start time 3:45 p.m.

This thing started tunneling faster than a badger! Wrapper started cracking immediately at the head. Wrapper barely burned. I fought with it the best I could, but gave up after 20 minutes.

End time: 4:05 p.m.

What I did get to enjoy out of it was very nice, however. The flavors I picked up were strong tobacco and tea flavors, with a long finish complimented by a vanilla flavor. There was a very, very slight spice at the back of my mouth. I wish this stick had worked out, because I was very much enjoying these flavors - especially as a way to relax after a difficult final exam.

What's a guy to do? :sadstare::sadstare:

Haha no, it's stuck in a snow bank. It's just my crappy camera, and funny lighting, making it look like it's at the bottom of a pool.

As a neubie I've had this same experience with other cigars. At first I thought that it was just poor construction on the "genuine hand mades from the Dominican Republic" that I picked up for way less than a buck a stick. I then thought that I might be that they were a little too moist as the same problem was happening to other "quality" cigars. I still continue to have this problem occasionally even though I rest them for a couple of weeks in the humidor at 65%. I have always wanted to pick up a Black Pearl. Bums me out to pitch any cigar into the snow after five minutes fighting with it.

You may also be smoking a bit too fast if this is continuing to happen to you.
