Ave Maria

Holy Grail

Smoke Time Humidity was 71%, Extremely Smooth as expected out of an Ave Cigar, I have smoked several different Types of Ave and have not found one yet that disappoints.....

2nd time smoking one of these. Lots of wood and hay flavor notes. Good burn, a little harsh on the retrohale with this one.

Definitely a new experience for me! I like wood, hay/barnyard flavors, and this stick is loaded with them. Began with the hay/barnyard flavors, with some wood notes present. 2nd ⅓, the wood kinda took over the barnyard taste. In the final ⅓, the barnyard flavor came back but the wood was still there, especially cedar. I really enjoyed this smoke. I dinged it on the appearance, because it is normally a $17.00 stick and it was a bit "rustic". Overall construction and burn was excellent, but it could have looked better IMHO.

One of the few Ave Maria's I hadn't tried yet. Another Connecticut wrapper that surprised me. Smooth and creamy flavors. My only negative was that it burned way too fast!
