As requested from the gifter, the review for this awesome cigar is as follows.
It was a dark and stormy night... oh wait, that's another story.
It was actually a cool and windy night. I decided to smoke this in my upstairs make-shift smoking room. I sit down with my usual glass of purified water... as to have as little interference as possible. Actually, its just because I had gotten back into town and there was nothing else in the house.
I like to smell the cigar before clipping or lighting. This cigar has one of the finest and smoothest aromas around. I used to think the 1964s were good... this was even better. I fire it up, and the initial draw was a little tight. Taste was creamy, but light. About 6 or so puffs, this baby hit it's stride. I just slunk in my chair and relaxed. With the fat ring gauge (56, I believe), the tastes were complex, but not confusing. The smoke was pure and full. The burn was excellent... most likely from not having sat in my sweatshop of a humidor for too long.
Most importantly for me when smoking a cigar is the feeling you get from smoking it. There have been cigars where I pay attention to every puff, not because it was good... but because I'm hoping "this will be the last puff and I can chuck this thing." Not the 1926. I just relaxed and watched tv. Before I knew it, the cigar was getting a little hot in my hand... as it usually does when there's only a nub left.
Score... 9.5 of 10.
Gotta to thank a fellow brother for this awesome cigar. I got another that's being laid down for a while. I can't wait to fire that one up either. :thumbs:
