This thing burned straight as an arrow and razor thin. Ash held about a half an inch or so at a time. This cigar has pedigree, quite enjoyable. I think I made a good buy. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

Southern Draw Lustrum Kudzu Medio Tiempo belicoso Aged Five Years.
This is a lovely cigar, made for Robert Holt at the A. J. Fernandez factory in Nicaragua. It smoked almost razor perfect the entire length of its existence. It went out once toward the end due to negligence, most likely. It has a creamy character with a real caramel flavor especially as it neared its end, which was a wonderful turn of events, as most cigars I smoke tend to get hot and ashy. This one did nothing of the sort. Thank you to spiridon for this one. Go find you some, me son.

Long Live the King--A.J. Fernandez Lonsdale. 44 x 6 inches
Great cigar, this started out with a heavy fruit character like figs and dates, then proceeded to mellow and develop a touch of leather then cedar character. I smoked it down to where I had to finally put a corn-on-the-cob skewer to get as much as I could from it. That made it hot, and the finish on it is a slight, charry, incense flavor. Will smoke again and will enjoy again.

Today's mini review is a La Palina Black Label Toro (6x50). I snagged 25 of these at a JR's flash sale for $9.95 a fiver. These are very dark and firm wrappers. The firm wrapper seems to sometimes burn a bit slower than the filler. A light occasional touch up takes care of that.
The flavor is straight forward. This is a strong cigar with no nuance. That said, these were a good buy at $2 per and I like 'em fine. |

I opened a 10 pack of Umbabgog Corona Gordas I've had since last fall. I've had a few of these that were kind of tight. Not today!
The roll is even and firm. The wrapper was dark and toothy. The draw was nice and open. The cigar burned evenly the whole 1.5 hours. The flavor is smooth and strong. Lots of chewy smoke. When these are on target nothing beats them. |

Corona Cigar Company Gold Series Maduro Churchill ( 7x48).
Well made cigar, dark and firm. The ash was tight and it burned straight all the way. I'm not getting much nuance from maduros these days. Just strong, rich tobacco flavor here. Not that I think that's a bad thing. Good cigar! It's really nice to smoke a long cigar and only need one match. |

Smoked a Room 101 Ltd 20th Anniversary Edition Churchill (7x48). Not sure when these were made. I got a few in a grab bag so I'm guessing it's been awhile. The silver band also says: Anniversary Edition Stogies Republic of Texas. It was wrapped in tissue and enclosed in a sleeve.
The wrapper looks like broadleaf. It's chocolate brown and feels heavy. good open draw.The burn was pretty straight. I hit it with a match twice. It was rich and full bodied. If you come across one of these you are in for a nice smoke. |
