Vivonte

Guffaw

It's my favorite time of year. Hockey season! I like to kick off every Flyers season with a Brian Propp Vivonte Guffaw. First puff gives off a s'more flavor, quickly followed by cedar and leather. It's a chilly and windy 45° night but the cigar is burning great. Ash is stacking up around 2 inches and looks compact and sturdy. Ash finally dropped over 2" long. This cigar keeps getting better with age.

Flyers starting their regular season means another Guffaw! I'm very surprised to say they won, but I feel like the real winner with this cigar. Lots of cedar flavor and very little spice, it's such an easy smoking cigar. Nice long ash, finally fell with about 2 inches remaining. After the ash fell the smoke got a little more peppery in the retrohale. Perfect draw, great burn (had a slight canoe issue at first), awesome flavor, and full score for appearance. It would be awesome to be able to smoke another one before the start of the next season, but I'll enjoy this one for now and not get my hopes up. Man, this cigar is refreshing. Some sticks get a little heavy for my taste but this one is just amazing. Fantastic all the way down to the nub!

Not a well known brand, but Vivonte does a great job with their boutique cigars. Had to buy a box of these because Brian Propp (Philadelphia Flyers alumnus) branded a cigar and I'm a huge Flyers fan. These are fantastic from the cedar and citrus flavor to the perfect draw and fairly even burn (it was slightly uneven at first) resulting in a 4 inch ash (so far). I only smoke these on special Flyers occasions (tonight's the first game of the preseason). I wish the Flyers had a cup contending team so I could smoke these more often. These are so good I'm going to have to buy a box of Vivonte Cigars that aren't Flyers related so that I can smoke Vivonte more often.
