Todays' domestic wonder is 6 x 48 or 47, with a bumpy maduro wrapper with light oils coming through. Good, I like oils

Cut a flaky foot with my SAK and the pre-light draw was somewhat firm, but not firm enough to indicate future troubles.
Lit that puppy up.
Initial flavor indicators were the sweetness of the maduro wrapper and nothing else. But, no aftertaste so the flavor was only there when you smoked it. No babying this cigar, I hit it and hit it and hit it. Never heated up or got harsh.
Very mild. About halfway I began to get a nice smokey mouthfeel after each draw with just a hint of spice, no pepper.
Closer to the end, I got a meatier smoke, still not much body. Not bad.
The entire experience was mild with an easy flavor profile. A good recommendation for when mild is what your looking for.

Now the problem is, I have no idea what this smoke was.

Red is gonna have to answer this one.

To risk another boot in the head...... Excalibur III Maduro?

I got sandals on today.

so no boot to the head.

Maybe an Excalibur. I would expect more body though.

I know, I know...

I'm gonna make you guess some more, though.

Remember, it's something every newbie ends up with. And, a lot of people keep them in rotation as a good everyday (value) smoke.
And I'm glad you cut that with your SAK and not your sack. Ouch!

Hmmm...

WEll, since I am heading out to my wife's store to do some things tonight, I will go ahead and tell you. It was a....... Maria Mancinin Robusto Larga. New box from the newest shipment. I don't like these as well as the old lots, but those are long gone. Maybe with another years age, they will be as good as the ones from the last issue. They did taste a little green to me. They were on backorder everywhere for so long, I wonder if the factory got a little anxious and just sent them out early? Oh well. I good middle of the road stick for cheap and easy to find, for now anyway.
