First of all ...allow me to apologize for the Lack of images...as this is my first review, my next will be more PRE-MEDITATED.
SMOKE:cain "straight Ligero" (habano wrapper)
SIZE:6" x 50
STRENGTH: Holy smokes!!!
COUNTRY:nicaragua
PRICE: $9.00
REVIEW:
here's the deal...the full bodied trend, is nothing new...there have been a veritable anthology of fly by night companies that have been putting out serious dog rockets that do nothing but kick you in the nuts and not much else...I'm inclined to expect more than that for my money
this is one of those cigars that does that with finesse and flavor
at first I just did a cold sniff of the foot and started sneezing...I knew it was on from there.
the guys that make this cigar...I believe the Oliva family...are no Newcomers to the full bodied market and have had great success with the "O" series...especially the "Stub" cigar....
Aside: This cigar is a great example of the breakout market of many "botique" brands that are enjoying success...Illusione, tatuaje, My father, and many more....
Beautiful toothy wrapper and no band on the body...Just one simple band on the foot which came off with ease...very sexy, and simple packaging.
On first lighting the cigar...It was INTENSE..I won't lie...a bit TOO MUCH and I choked on the first puff...but I realized I had to TAKE IT EASY and get used to the draw...which actually had the right amount of resistance to it.
After a good 2 mins. the cigar started to draw well and the flavor mellowed out a bit...with consistent TOBACCO and LEATHER notes hinted with some strong CITRUS flavors.
the cigar burned evenly without a single relight for the entire 1 Hour and 30 mins.
As I sat down to enjoy my movie...I notice the stub in my fingers as the credits started to roll...that says enough right there...It takes alot for me to smoke down to the nub !!!!
Overall, a great 9 dollar smoke, one that should be enjoyed after a meal, but certainly won't lay you flat.
One of the few ass Kickers out there that is both well constructed and offers consistent flavor and won't disappoint!!
