Because of the spicy notes taste like Short Churchill but the wrapper is not as well treated as those I have smoked previously, but....anyway, that?s my guess
I always measure them and weight them. I smell them, play with it.
I like guessing the weight of things and finding out. 5 years of Physic Science f***d my brain I am sure

So a robusto is half an ounce, that's interesting. What size cigar weighs an ounce I wonder?
As we don?t know where has been bought the price cannot be used to identify the taxation part applied by gov. Definitely in this case we only can argue it was not bought in UK.

And if you import privately then HMRC weigh the whole box, not just the contents

I believe this can be challenged and a request made to reweigh just the contents. Sounds like an awful amount of faffing around and I suspect no-one actually bothers.
Arrived safe and sound.
[MENTION=13450193]Greg[/MENTION] what do you mean about the blue smoke...never come across that term before

Well if you look at the color of the smoke, there are hints of blue that disappear close at the tip, or last during the evolution of the smoke. In this case they don?t last more than few inches. I am not sure if because oils or other stuff, but part of the show a cigar gives
Landed, and they look delightful with their sheen!
Smoke one straight away, quite a spicy little number, with a creaminess starting to come through at the halfway mark. I am going to have a stab at JL2...[emoji51]
I had been anticipating this smoke ever since it arrived smells so nice, lovely oily wrapper. Finally got some time on saturday to light it up. Here we go:
First 3rd:
This is nice. mellow, sweet and woody. delicious! this is going to be good..
burn is going off on one but still nice. a little touch up needed.
2nd:
burn gone wild, getting very, very bitter and giving a really funny spicy coating in my mouth...then it went out.
re-cut required!
(should i bin it?!...no lets persevere!)
into the 3rd,
still very bitter and spicy (different kind of spice this, i like spice but this was just so bitter) about a quarter into the 3rd it mellowed out again the burn was razor and the rest went down a treat!
quite a battle this one, glad i kept with it just a very odd second third, never had anything like this before..too young maybe? got a duff one? I will keep my second sleeping for a good while! absolutely no clue what it could be !!
