Very sweet dry inhale. Sweet spice on first puffs. Sweetness hanging on, spice getting strong. The 1926 must be really strong. Perfect burn, I love the old rustic wrapper. Smooth buzz. I didn’t care for the box pressed mouth feel. Will V Cut next time
Delicious bold flavor on this one. The appearance on this was not the best, pretty sloppy looking wrapper, but it didn’t affect the performance. This one burned pretty well, needed a relight towards the end, but its been pretty hot and humid here so that could have played a part. This smaller Vitola is briliiant, smoked this one in around 50 minutes, and was every bit as good as the larger ones. Glad i have another 8 of these. Probably the best short smoke ive had along with the Fritas stuff.
Stick was in rough shape. Possibly poor storage at Total Wine. Dry and cracking wrapper. The cigar is smooth and mellow nonetheless. Burns mostly straight but not perfectly
This thing is amazing great taste, great burn, great draw, full flavor but smooth on the pallet definitely top 5 of all my smokes thus far will buy more but only for treat. Pairs great with a standard proof bourbon i feel it would be overpowered by a higher proof like a select or a bottled in bond or barrel proof in my opinion would be too much for it might pair well with beer but I’m not sure though.
No. 115.824. Date 7/11/2023. Beverage Michelob Ultra. Out of the gate not a wow factor, nothing blew my mind same boring taste throughout. No flavors other than smoke, little tingle on lips. Doesn’t taste bad, light to smoke no harshness. Great burn, inch ash before it fell off. Probably won’t purchase again.
Raisins on the cold draw turn to flavors of white pepper, espresso, and earth while lit. Lots of good smoke. Single cap construction led to some issues after cutting. Last third of this short stick got hot and lost taste. Double band was hard to remove too.
Highly anticipated but just meh. Don't get me wrong it's a good cigar, but for almost $18 I would expect it to make more of an impression. I'll probably try it again just to be certain but at this point it's forgettable.
