Happened upon a B&M a few towns away and checked it out. They had a nice selection of Davidoff and Fuentes and most better brands.
I didn't have too much to spend and I picked up a Camacho Corojo Monarca (haven't smoked it yet but I love their 11/18's) and the Padron 2000 Nat.
I'm not a glib reviewer but I can say that the construction gave the impression of quality. It was a real good looking smoke. Rectangular box press, smooth, clean.
Got home and laid my Xicar2 on the table and placed the cigar down into it(which is how I cut my smokes if they're not torpedos or the like) and snipped it and got a good draw (not too loose, so that I was able to pull on that baby).
The flavor throughout was smooth, never harsh. Some smokes make me want to spit frequently, even though I'm enjoying them. That wasn't an issue with this one. Thought it was medium bodied. I didn't notice any major changes from start to finish other than I thought it got a little "sweeter" as it progressed.
I found this cigar thoroughly enjoyable...relaxing, tasty. Just how a cigar should be. I chose this one because the legnth appeared right for the time. When I have more time to devote, I'll go for a 3000. Maybe even a maduro!
Edited to change Dunhill to Davidoff.
