Viaje Skull and Bones MOAB

[Thecatch83]

Origin: Nicaragua
Length: 4 1/4
Ring Gauge: 54
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Cut: Xicar (first cap)
Burn: 1:05
Strength: Full

First try with a fiver of these that have been sitting in the cooler for a couple of months (65% RH). Very nice smelling stick, great construction, draw was perfect. Initial flavors were very nice, oustanding complexity with a nice little spice kick on the back. Copious amounts of white smoke, and the ash held on for a good inch and a half. Unfortunately, I had to perform 2-3 touch ups and relights. The MOAB wasn't tunneling, it just burned inconsistently. The previous reviews have been spot on, in that this cigar needs more time in the humidor, and I won't touch the other four I have for at least another year. This will be a complex flavor bomb and I was impressed overall despite the burn issues. Would I buy more of these? Without a doubt, if you can find them!

Thanks for the review. I really hated these cigars! Maybe some down time, you're right they smell amazing. The taste was just charry and nasty.

Thanks for the review. I have one resting and think it will stay that way for a while longer.

I just got one in the mail today. I'll let it sleep for a few months. It looks great though!

Nice review. Sounded like these need a good nap.

I thought the WMD smoked surprisingly well considering ROTT.

The MOABs need more time, imho.

Thought the WMD was most organic tasting and best smoking ROTT S&Bs.
