Cigar of the Month Club - April 2016

[Johnny Thunder]

Arrived safe and sound here Wayne. Thank you.

I don't think I will get a chance to smoke it this weekend.
It looks like I have contracted a Category A Pathogen known as Man Flu.

That's great that it got there so quick!
Hope you're feeling better soon.

Arrived and smoked already. I came home from a tough week at work and looked forward to a cigar. So when I saw the envelope I spontaneously decided to have it straight away.

It started off rather unpleasant. String hay and grass flavours, mixed with ammonia. I knew straight away, this cigar needs a few more years.

However, there were some nice notes hidden amongst the harsh freshness.

Enter the 2nd third. The harshness made space for a beautiful hand full of puffs full of fruity aromas that I rarely find in cigars but thoroughly enjoy.

At this point I was sure it was a brand I did not try before. The profile was new to me but promised pure enjoyment.

The rest of the 2nd third continued nicely but towards the last third some bitter notes came in and I put it down half an inch earlier than I usually stop.

All in all I really enjoyed the cigar, despite the freshness. I wouldn't have another at this age but I would definitely get some to put in my scubador.

When I checked the band it turned out that I was right. I didn't have this cigar before and it was rather young indeed.

So despite not having guessed what it is, I feel quite happy with my conclusion. 😊

Thanks for the great cigar and I will definitely have some more of these.

That's a great review [MENTION=13432411]Niela[/MENTION]
They are fairly young, I decided to put the factory code & age on the back of the band to help everyone.

Had the cigar of the month this evening, not bad a bit young gay a lot if fresh hay flavour, but not a bad smoke.

Ha ha. I think your predictive text has gone out of control!

Mine arrived today. When I pulled it out of the envelope the band, which had made its way out of the little envelope, came with it! So I know what it is! Am yet to light it up.

^ I looked at mine. As a relative newbie to cigars I just liked the idea of trying something new every month. Obviously I wouldn't ruin it for anyone else but I prefer knowing what it is (until I get more experienced!)

I really enjoyed mine despite its youth and I'm glad I bought two.

I'll be buying a box for sure [emoji106]

Mine arrived safely the other day, thanks. I didn't notice the band though, oops.

And it's gone in the bin

What was wrong [MENTION=201]cj121[/MENTION]??

[cj121]

I'm sorry Wayne, I meant the band.

[wayne_w]

You had me worried there!
