Cigar Weekly

Since this is my first review here I’ll try and give this fine cigar some justice.

The appearance of this cigar was beautiful. Smooth, small veined, and a milk chocolate color. The cigar had a slightly oily touch with a silky feel.

The cut was clean with no unraveling.

The initial lighting was quick, even, and a few puffs later was developing a nice grey/white ash. The burn was even throughout the whole cigar, never having to relight.

IMO this was a medium bodied cigar with a mild sweet taste to the smoke which slowly built to the end, never turning bitter or harsh. The smoke was a creamy color and my friends around the table said the cigar smelled good (which I take as a compliment from a cigarette smoker. Even let them take a couple of puffs. Trying to convert them.).

Give this one a

out of five.

Definitely going to try this with a Knob Creek Bourbon. I’m ordering a second box of Don Carlos; maybe try a torpedo or the belicoso.

That’s all,

Dave
