Arrived today, thanks Tommy[emoji106] Smells absolutely divine[emoji106][emoji106] but sustained some damage[emoji53]

I can glue the flap, but the split around the circumference will need a patch. Looks like it flexed in the post. I'll have some grafting material or a donor somewhere. I think it'll be cool.

I'm sending you another buddy. Don't bother fixing that one just chop it in half and keep it as a shorty.

You are a star Tommy, thanks. What a bugger though ay
A shorty? Didn't think of that one A new vitola perhaps

[Budgie Smuggler]

I've no idea what they are, but I'm definitely glad I went for two, cheers Tommy [emoji122]

Lovely construction, very smooth wrapper. Soft to the touch, good firm draw but not tight. Musty aged tobacco smell. Not picking up much on cold draw. Slight bitterness in the lips





Initial taste is mild woody tobacco. With maybe a mild hint of pepper at the back of the palette. With maybe a hint of sweetness on the after taste. Medium strength overall I'd say.

Towards the middle third really started to mellow out into soft subtle creamy nutty woody notes. Burn was a little erratic and it didn't stay lit to easily. Ash fell of after every half inch or so. Lots of lovely creamy smoke.



Really not a clue on the brand to be honest [emoji53]

Draw did start to tighten up a tad and the burn did correct itself

A lovely mild smoke all in all, great afternoon smoke!

If I was to have a guess I'd say Trinidad or LGC that's without any research

Thanks Tommy! Top smoke!

[tommy]

Nice one Buddy, you hit the mark on many counts there. I got wood and soft fruity berries. I won't say any more but a good smoke I think.

[Edamski]

Yeah I'd say it was berry sweetness which is not something I find too often, had a Monte 4 last year that was just like eating a hand full of berries no joke but not even it's compatriots from the same box where like it haha.

Cheers buddy

Got my replacement yesterday, thanks Tommy, and am looking forward to smoking this when time permits.

[EdBlackadder]

Not managed to smoke mine yet, was away on a stag do at the weekend and working like a dog since. Hopefully will be giving this a go in the next few days.

[tommy]

Sorry guys, I know it's hard to smoke a large stick at the mo. The smaller smoke I had in mind was one I've been talking about loads of late so I didn't go for that.

[smokey joe]
