This is my first review guys , i dont consider myself learned enough to rate them with numbers, so just a quick review and my thoughts.
Firstly, Mike has been on at me for ages to try these, i was hesitant for 2 reasons, Firstly im not a lover of light wrappers, second , after the Man o War Ruination, i didnt want to spoil my thoughts on them "knowing" i wouldnt like this.
So going into this i already didnt like them, that was to change.
Firstly, almost every lighter or connecticut wrapper i have had has always been shabby looking, possibly due to the fact the wrappers seem to take on marks when handled. These looked very nice indeed, quite smooth , no marks and in great conditions.The cigar band is large and bold, and really stands out.
Clipped and prelight draw was perfect, just right resistance and what my untrained palette detected as earthy flavours.
Lighting was easy, again i have had scorch problems with light wrappers , but this was great. The burn all along was razor tight, no touch up required at all.
So down to the smoke itself. The cigar produced clouds of smoke, flavour wise its a very mellow smoke indeed. A complete shock as the ruiniation is so strong in comparison. I got a hint of spice in the first few minutes, the earthiness continues all the way along, the cigar is just smooth from start to end. I havent experienced a cigar so mellow and enjoyable before, a real treat to be honest.
The ash was a compact perfect grey white that clung on well, and as i said earlier the burn was perfect.
I wont rate it with a number, but i would buy a box of these for sunday afternoons in the garden, and at the price, around $30 for 5 they cant be beaten.
If anyone wants any more info, please dont hesitate to ask, sorry in advance for the amateuristic and rushed review, im sure i will eventually improve.
