With my b-day on its way I decided to start the celebration early.
Slevy007 stopped by today to drop off some sticks from an order we shared.
We sat on my roof and he torched a very fresh Boli PC which he loved.
I put a Cohiba Siglo VI to the torch. This stick was a generous gift from my brother Charlie aka stogieman. It had a manufacture date of 9/03.
What an interesting stick! Before emoliation I checked out the beautiful roll on this bad boy. Pre-light draw was tight and slightly sour. I was hesitant to spark it up. I decided to give it a go none the less. I have got to say this was the first stick I've had that I'd describe as savory. It was salty, meaty and earthy. It definately had the cuban 'twang'. A weird experience for me but not unpleasant at all. Throughout the stick it maintained this characteristic. It burned excellently the whole way through with no touch-ups required. The last 1/4 developed flavors of wood, leather and a touch of sweetness (nuts perhaps). But that underlying salty/meatiness held on to the nub. I started smoking with a Pellegrino sparkling water. I switched to diet Dr. Pepper about halfway through. I found it matched well with this smoke.
Thanks Charlie for the opportunity to experience a cigar completely different from ANYTHING I've ever smoked before.
Stay tuned to this thread for my next cigar.
I probably burn something nice during the Lost finale tonight!
