I will make this short since I did not smoke it for very long. That should say something right there.
Wrapper was med dark brown, a few veins, decent cap flat finish (not real oily)
Looks to be slightly longer than a traditional robusto.
Decent flat cap.
Cut the cigar and took a draw without lighting. It was like sucking through an empty toilet paper (the cardboard part) roll.....no resistance whatsoever. To me this meant loosely packed although it did not feel like that to the touch. I also thought I had better smoke it as slow as possible since it would likely burn hot.
I was right, fast hot burn, but even.
I bought a couple of them last night at the B&M, not exactly cheap either. I thought they were about $6.00. Smoked it driving around in the car today.
Flat flavor, basically no depth and no complexity. Some decent tobacco notes with a short finish and pepper was noted. It really was hard to try and taste anything as the heat from the burn was I think killing most of what was there (if anything was there in the first place).
I really could not smoke it past the 2nd 3rd and pitched it with somewhat less than 1/2 left to go. Left a pretty nasty aftetaste too. I think it was underfilled.
Oh well, live and learn, that what this is all about for me. Maybe the second one will be better, I am going to wait a while before tackling that again though.
Not my kinda smoke for sure.
