Cigar Weekly

Just picked up a few of the DL line from my local (sic, 98m rt) B&M and construction wise, very nice. Smoked the 600 last night and perhaps this was a little early, just could not help myself looking at those nice sticks.

They probably need more than a few days in the humi before cutting and torching, especially before any decisions get made. I will probably purchase a few more and give them 6 months additional rest before trying again.

Found the smoke to burn fine with just some minor inperfections (no touchups required) but I did not get the wealth of flavors or spiceness I expected. The smoke actually stayed quite even from start to finish. Maybe my palete is wreaked, drink way too much coffee. However, had the smoke on a empty stomach watching the new XMan and did not get any lightheadedness or quesy stomach, as one might expect from a serious cigar.
