This weekend I smoked a Bauza (5.5x50)
It had a medium brown wrapper, darker than a
natural but not quite an EMS. It was smooth.
It felt firm, very light prelight straight tobacco
aroma. It had been box pressed but it had spent
some time in the humi not pressed so I think it
got a little rounder. It lighted extremely easy.
The draw was fine but very little flavor. The
wrapper wanted to burn faster than the bunch.
I had to stop and let the bunch smolder to catch
up. It did produce a good amount of smoke.
This was a fast burning cigar. I was totally done
with it in 1 hour. Usually a smoke of this size
will give 1.5 to 2 hours, because I smoke slow.
The last third finally developed some flavor but
it was still just straight tobacco. I was hoping
for more. A local shop pointed me to
it after I had done some reading about it.
The last third also started to burn correctly too.
My overall impression was this one was too mild and
tasteless to buy again. I felt that I was going through
the motions of smoking with none of the rewards. The
last supposed premium that was more of a let down was
the H. Upmann Millennium Toro. It not only had no taste
but left a bad aftertaste. Back to maduros and stronger
smokes.
