Cuaba Divinos. Cut with the V cutter again and a good draw, it makes such a difference with this stick. Pre lit smell was akin to Indian sandstone (I know, random) kind of perfumed but not too strongly. I got the same smell from some of the Oliva G's I've had.
Quick coffee (cafe caramella from costa today) whilst waiting for the post office to open then off to re-point an old patio.

that is a good smoke for its money. Now I've ironed out the draw issues its a really enjoyable every day quickie.

Ok my first question, how do you even know what Indian sandstone smells like?



Going to give this a go in the sun. Not sure what to expect but time will tell. Lovely day for it as well!

Perhaps he's been nose down in the rocks on holiday? No don't go there! On the other hand, nice tube, hope the cigar lives up to the packaging.

[Simon G]

Is that a budgie I see - or a canary?

[PeeJay]

Probably a parakeet in that jungle!

[Edamski]

It is a budgie and you're gonna love this. She is called PeeJay haha! Grand old age of 14! My smoking buddy on sunny days.

The smoke is very pleasant. Medium strength with a definite treacle sweetness undertones and I wanna say nutty slightly bitter main notes.

Burn is awful mind, constantly correcting it.



Apart from the filthy hooligan it's the first Alec Bradley I've had and I'd recommend it! Shame it's not available in the uk outside of the collection. At least I'm lead to believe so.

[PeeJay]

Way to go!

[Simon G]

Nice one

14's a good age for a budgie!

[Edamski]

It is! She keeps on going! Not much of a bird, I mean she can't fly the fat old thing but she's forever tricking my old man into thinking the phone is ringing! [emoji16]

The cigar on the other hand died not long after that picture or at least I let it rest as it got really bitter and I wasn't enjoying it anymore a purge didn't help either.

Still, if you can get hold of one well worth a smoke [emoji4]

I though someone may ask that. I lay a lot of patios and get my stone from India, when you cut it it has the smell of incense or some perfume. Smell an Oliva Serie G and you should know what I mean. When I first smelled one it put me off but once I lit that sucker up everything changed, I damn nearly went turgid for that cigar! But not quite...

[Edamski]

I figured after that it may have to do with work I had one last week but can't really remember haha
