Very nice wrapper, tight, consistent with small veins running the length of the cigar. Toasted and fired it up.
Nice easy draw with plenty of smoke on each puff. Had a very unusual flavor during the first few puffs then it developed into a very pleasurable flavor. Not sure if I had it too hot from the lite or if that's just the way it smokes. I tend to smoke a little quick. Once it settled down the burn was very consistent.
Flavor was woody, not like an H.Upmann but definately woody.
Ash was white with a slight grey shading. Ash stated tight until the end of the cigar then it became a little flaky right before I would have burned my fingers.
I enjoyed this cigar. Cost me $4.65. Very nice smoke for this price.

Ok, first one is under my belt. Any opinions are greatly appreciated. Any suggestions to help me improve my review would also be appreciated. But PLEASE Go easy on me guys, this is my first review.

What do you think Neophyte, am I worthy of inclusion in your latest blind testing group?

Very nice

My second cigar was a Leon Jimenes and it was very tasty. Turned into the Beli and now I am hoping to drop a box into my Humi so I can have them around all the time.

They are pretty mild if you take that as a draw back But oh so falvorful

One of the first mild cigars that I liked. I'm not sure I could smoke one now, but they are well made and usually consistent.

I like the LJ #1 when I'm in the mood for a mild one.

Leon Jimenes is one of the few cigars that shows you can have a mild cigar without sacrificing great flavor.

Good review. I've alway tasted a charred woody taste with LJ cigars. I like them during the day. I find the maduros much better that the naturals.

Charred wood, that sounds about right for what I tasted.

Thanks Frankhouse
