Well, I fully intended to smoke this yesterday, but between all the kids, buddies, and beer I didn't have time.
I lit up today and I was prepared to be greeted by a powerhouse. I was kinda let down, but it had nice flavor at least. Things got interesting when it wouldn't ash for the first two inches. I thought to myself...I wonder how long I could milk this... After every couple puffs, I gave it 1/4 turn to keep it even.
At nearly three inches, I grabbed my phone thinking it was near the end...
I have always been a firm believer that the length a cigar holds its ash is a direct representation of not only the buncher's uniformity and wrapper's skill, but also the quality of leaf involved. As it reached a few puffs into the band, the ash started its downward journey.
Call me crazy, but I don't totally dig this cigar. Maybe I'm still jacked from the nasal flu vaccine, but I was expecting something that wasn't quite there. I'll let them sleep for a good while and give them a revisit down the road. :grin:
Fun Times!
