Cigar Weekly

JoeyBogus · 11-10-2002, 12:19 AM

Celo-wrapped; smooth-textured medium-brown wrapper with medium veins and a few lumps; leathery scented; solid construction. Slightly tight draw and above average smoke volume. Burn was a little uneven but self-corrected nicely; some coning; very stiff whitish/light-grey ash held to about 2.5". Flavors started woody with hints of spice and a dry finish; after the first ash drop flavor became mostly woody with hints of green apple. Strength started mild/medium and then developed into medium. Nice subtle flavors; smoked it past the band for about 1.25 hrs. I found this to be a very relaxing smoke.

Nice review. This has always been a go-to cigar for me.

Good review.
I go through a ton of the Rothchilds.

When there on they a really good smoke, but there are always a couple in the box that are just bad.

Nice review---These always sound good, but for some reason they never seem to "do-it" for me.

I'll keep trying!!!

My experience with these has been similar to doohnibor.

I had a box and tried very hard to like them but they just weren't for me. I gave the last 10 away.

Maybe it was that green apple thing.
