El Rico Habano - Habano Club Review
Cigar: El Rico Habano
Size: HABANO CLUB 4.88 X 48 Binder: NIC Filler: NIC Strength: Full I received a 5 pack of these from a trade. Thanks dog2001 , Nice trade !! This was my FIRST El Rico Habano !! Looks: looked fairly ok, no ripps on the wrapper. Burn: Burn was good, had to touch it up, but it touched up quickly and nice. fairly even burn, towards the end the wrapper stopped burning and had to re-light the wrapper. Draw: Nice easy draw (not too easy). Smoke: Nice thick, a good amount of smoke from this small cigar. Construction: Gave it a sqeeze seemed like it may be underfilled, but it wasn't. towards the end the wrapper stopped burning and had to re-light the wrapper. Taste: WOW ! There is NO searching for taste on this cigar !! Nice BOLD (not harsh at all) Strong NIC Taste, great flavor ! It's sorta like taking the 2-3 flavorful cigars and putting all the flavor into 1 cigar, best way I can describe it. Can't tell on the first 2 puffs, but then The Flavor comes rushing in... While smoking this cigar I was thinking, people are saying this is a really strong cigar and was wondering if I was gonna get a buz. I smoked it down to the nub, burnning my fingers.. when I finally put it out I thought wow Great Cigar, but it didn't effect me (no buz). Then I walked inside the house and sat down, then i got a little dizzy and then realized "hey I'm buzzed". have not had a cigar that gave me a buz in quite a while (since I smoke 2 a day). I had to sit down for 15 minutes, didn't feel sick, just a little light-headed for a while. Overall, a Fantastic Cigar !! I would love to get more of these, and try the other sizes aswell. If construction and burn was good then this could be close to a perfect score in my book. A Powerful Smoke !! at a reasonable price, a box of these go for $68 on JR (25), that's like 2.70/ea.. |
