Thanks guys!I'd have to agree
Hi Frank,Yan, I apologize for the delay in getting this gorgeous stick smoked and reviewed! It's tough, sometimes, to find cigar-smoking, or Daddy-time, when you have a nearly 3 year old running around crazy! I am going to try to get it in, tomorrow afternoon!!! Thank you again for this rich opportunity to try your cigars!!
Thank you Ed, awaiting your comment, review, and pics!I'm hoping sometime this weekend I will have a chance to smoke and post my review...
Hi Dave,Great Mild-Medium stick that went great with my morning coffee on Memorial Day.
Prelight draw was perfect, offering sweet notes of cedar with just a hint of nutmeg and anise.
The first two thirds were very consistent, offering plumes of creamy white smoke and a reasonable ammount of resting smoke. Cedar and sweet tobacco dominate the pallate, with a crisp, slightly floral finish. The final third offered a slight increase in body and a complete flavor profile change. Allspice, nutmeg and white pepper notes became more pronouced, particularly on the retrohale. The finish also ramped up considerably, with notes of earth and dark roasted coffee.
Construction on this stick was flawless, with a razor sharp burn and a tight white ash that lasted well into the first third!
Total smoke time: 1 hour 15 minutes.
While this stick didn't fit my usual flavor profile, I found it to be a nice change of pace with significantly more complexity than most mild smokes. A great morning smoke for new and seasoned smokers alike.
but you gotta admit, anything would look good with those guys around:eyepoke:
Hi Frank,I finally got the opportunity to enjoy this cigar, last night, in the company of danthebugman and HalloweenHarry31.
The cigar was just gorgeous, from the silky sheen of the wrapper to the regal band. Prelight aroma of the cigar was cedar and tobacco. The draw seemed almost a little looser than I usually enjoy, despite the fact the cigar felt firm and well constructed. The smoke emitted by this cigar was wonderful, wafting white plumes. There was some great small smoke emissions while not being puffed.
I really didn't pick up much flavor from the cigar except light tobacco flavors and a hint of cedar. (This may be due to some stuffiness of my nose, but I had just had supper a couple of hours earlier, and I seemed to be tasting fine.)
About halfway through, I had a slight burn issue when the burn line got farther and farther away from a point that wasn't keeping up. I had to correct this issue two times.
I didn't ever notice a change throughout this cigar. I was expecting a slight change according to other reviews here, but never got it.
Overall, a pretty mild stick, in my opinion. It didn't have bad flavors to it, but just didn't really jump out at me.
I appreciate that Yan and Shuckins put this taste test thing together. I enjoyed having the opportunity to try the cigar, and give my feedback (and my lackluster reviewing skills, for what they're worth). Thank you so much guys!!!
yes,it is a problem!Ron! We can't add onto group buy due to trading zone!!! this is a problem indeed! Ill take one of the churchill 3rs! looks good!
