Cigar Weekly

TOJE · 04-18-2002, 08:08 PM

This cigar was gifted to me by Las Villas at the Herf For Fool's II.
Size seemed to be about a 7x48 with a light natural wrapper with a shaggy foot! A real classic look.
The roll seemed soft, but the draw was even with medium amounts of smoke. A light grey ash and had a very even burn.
The taste was mild.......with hints of nuts and spices with leather undertones. Kind of mild for my taste but a great morning smoke and a very well made cigar.
It was a pleasure to smoke this unique cigar and I thank you Las Villas for the honor of getting one of these cherished cigars.
I give it a 3.5!!

FYI, I photograph cigars!

Well, glad to see that you enjoyed it TOJE, they are kind of mild but they are very good, IMO. Your very welcome for the gift, fine sir!!

smoke mine tonight...

construction was flawless,felt firm to the touch..

flavor started right out of the gate...mild to medium smoke..

the draw was a little tight at first, but loosen up towards the middle..

overall not a bad cigar...like the flavor...never harsh...

nice job Las V...

They sound interesting and a 3.5 from Tjoe is pretty darn good!!!!

What LasVillas did you roll them yourself??

Las Villas · 04-20-2002, 08:26 AM

No, they were actually rolled in Cuba, by a close family member that usually send us some when one of our family members here in the states goes to visit. Usually its my mom, since she goes to visit my grandmother. She will be going again sometime in 2003...so my resources on these are limited!! Can't wait for 2003
