How was it?

Decent smoke Sham. It started fairly mild and built in strength as it progressed.
I suspect that most flavours were covered over by the drinks I paired it with. There were grass/hay
flavours throughout though. Not a complex smoke but enjoyable. Required a couple of purges but
the burn was spot on.

I have no idea what it was.

Only my second cigar! Went with H.Upmann Junior.
I really enjoyed this although the draw seemed pretty tight (don't know the correct terminology). I had to pull very hard and I just couldn't get a large amount of smoke out. I will try another and hopefully it may be a better draw, unless they are all like this.!

Just picked up another of the Upmann Juniors from the same local tobacconist. Again a ridiculously tight draw. Enough to make your cheeks hurt trying! I tried the massaging and poking a pin down but it was still no good. I suffered until about half way through then cut off the end. I'm thinking of taking the thing back to the shop at some point and swapping for something else.

Quite annoying when you make time and look forward to enjoying a cigar.

Sometimes cigars in shops are over humidified and that makes a tight draw a lot worse. Sometimes some downtime in your own humidor, or dry boxing for a few days can help.

👍 I've learnt, or should say am learning, the usefulness of dry boxing before smoking.
