Cigar Weekly

The cigar has an interesting taper to it with a traditional rounded head and about 1/2 inch of unwrapped tobacco at the foot, making it very easy to light.

Pre-light aroma had toasted tobacco, leather and vanilla undertones. Clipped cleanly with my Palio and lit nicely although the unfinished foot took a bit more effort.

Once the burn settled in, a nice even draw produced copious amounts of smoke with the aforementioned flavors of toasted tobacco, leather and vanilla undertones. The ash was mottled and held on for about an inch.

Very nice nose to the smoke off of the foot, medium but not overpowering.

Had to set the cigar down for a moment; not only did it not go out, the flavors had improved while I was gone; more creaminess while keeping the toasted tobacco flavors and a developing sweetness.

The cigar was so well constructed that it burned slow and never got hot, providing a nice, long, pleasant smoke.

The uncut remnants of the head peeled off, but this had no effect on the quality of the smoke.

At about half-way, this cigar developed into one of the most enjoyable smokes in recent memory. I was smoking on my son's balcony, and even though the rain was coming down in buckets, the cigar never got gummy like some cigars do when presented with too much humidity in the air.

I nubbed this cigar without a single hot draw.

These are flying off of the shelves, so do yourself a favor and find one (some). The Edgar Hoyll One Shot One Kill (OSOK) does not disappoint. This is the first IPCPR cigar (not a sample, I had to find this one, but it was a new release at the show) I have given 5/5.

Joe Bob says check it out!

Sounds like one I definitely need to check out!

Smoking an OSOK as I write this. Jeff, your description has been spot on with the one I'm enjoying right now. The first half I was a little disappointed, the body seemed a little thin, but as I'm entering the second half it is really opening up and gaining a lot of depth and flavor.

Which cigar/cigars have you smoked Jeff? Just curious if has been the same vitola or different ones and if there were any differences between them.

You've already convinced me to make a purchase. Now I just have to decide which ones!

Well I'm more confused now after doing a little searching on these. I was thinking the discussion on these were about the EH OSOK which are Nicaraguan puros. It appears though that the new release at the IPCPR was the EH OG OSOK which shows to be a Honduran puro. Is it the Honduran release that you are enjoying so much?

jefslat · 10-16-2015, 08:12 AM

Not sure. The come fully wrapped in black paper with white print and then have a ring inside. I thought they were the new ones, but they don't taste Honduran...

jgbutler · 10-16-2015, 02:18 PM

Sounds like those are the original Nic cigars. That is how they are packaged. Here is a link for reference to a site that has good pictures of both.

Definitely the Nics. They were pushing both like they were new at IPCPR.
