This smoke kind of took me for a surprise.

I lit it up and it was very smooth. Very mild and smooth. Pretty light and airy too. Hard to describe.

Very cool burning too, which is good. I hate to have to "back off" a cigar because the smoke is hurting my mouth.

It's hard to describe the plavor but it's pleasant. I mean it's kinda like smoking tobacco-flavored cardboard. But it's not a negative experience to me.

The burn is pretty uneven, with a little bit of a runner forming and little pieces of wrapper not burning at all and falling off.

The draw is farily tight.

Overall a pleasant change of pace, mild cigar. Not worth the price I paid but I'm not sorry I'm smoking it. Definitely a good intro cigar.

If you like Helixes you might like these.

I'm just curious...how much did you pay? Boxes of 20 #3's can be ordered for $22.10.

I like these too - especially at that price :)

I paid $8 for a 5 stick sampler, when I was still new at the Cbid game.

Not sorry I did it but now I realize I overpaid.

If you're interested in a trade LMK dixie. I got 4 left.

Ah, what the hell...I'm up for a trade anyway though...how about a 6-stick blinder?

And if we do...let's please actually give the correct number ? :)

Cheers,
Dixie

PM Me if interested

haha!

Just wanted to add this cigar is fun to smoke. You can just puff and puff and puff without worring about gettign overpowered.

Several times I thought it went out but a few strong puffs and it came right back to life!

Man I for sure thought it went out again and I started to clean out the ash to relight it and bam smoke started coming out

starting to get a littel hgarsh in the final third....but overall a fun smoke!

I don't want to get rid of these after all.

BTW goes well with Budweiser :)
 
OK ONE more note:

a profusion of littel pieces of unburnt wrapper were dioscovered on my shirt and on my floor.

I'd like to hear your notes on these as well Dixie.

Due to the fact that this is a mixed short-filler cigar.
