I expected this to be 100% a gimmick, oh cool it’s wrapped in a tobacco leaf instead of cellophane… Well the big downside of that is you don’t know what you’re getting; is there a beautiful cigar in there or a piece of dog s#!+… As far as this one went it was somewhere in the middle. A rather dull looking cigar, almost grey in color with a few minor cracks in the wrapper. Not one I would have picked up if I’d been able to see it through the cellophane, but not so bad that I just tossed it in the trash. So I poured myself a drink and lit up. Not as great as all the hype I e heard on these but far better than I expected, might even get another one someday. Smooth and mild, no spice or pepper but a good flavor to it none the less.
Got this one of a Leaf Sampler. Maybe it was too dry but did not get much flavor in any way from it. In the last third it just got unpleasantly sharp and „chemical“
