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..
