Cigar Weekly

My wife dropped me off at husband daycare today (my local) while she went shopping. I stumbled across a very interesting cigar from foundry called elements - helium is the size I chose (6.5 x 56). It's a small batch cigar out of General Cigar. So far the cigar is really enjoyable! It started off a little muted in flavor, but really opens up about 1/2 inch in. I'm not great at describing flavors, but it's definitely a mixture of creamy, hints of coffee, and there's an enjoyable earthy flavor as well. This is definitely a full bodied cigar, that produces tons of smoke and a flawless draw. So, far I would highly recommend it!!!

I've been wondering about them. It sounds like it would be right up my line, as long as it's not a nicotine bomb. Cafe/mocha is a good base, add some maduro flavors, and that's a great combination.

Sounds good, except for the ring gauge. I don't like a ring gauge of more than 50, preferably less.

yeah, good point, that's a huge smoke. Definitely prefer it in robusto or even toro.

If I'm watching a movie, a Churchill is what I reach for. For everything else a Robusto or Toro is perfect.

Aaron, they are at JR, and pretty reasonably priced.

Box price is between 3 and 4 bucks a cigar.
