Scoll to the bottom for the abridged review with no filler.
unabridged review:
It's been a rough week at work, so I brought in a cigar on Thursday to sit outside and relax a bit on lunch. So it was a CFSG that I plopped into my shirt as I headed out to work. Working thru the mucked up morning I eagerly await torching this cigar. Damned if it wasn't lunch time and the skies were getting dark and a shinizzle* drizzle was slowly coming down with a teasing attitude of "let me ruin your day". Mad I turned back thinking it had ended all chances of a good day, I stopped and declared war.
Stomping out the doors with a sandwich, diet coke, yogurt, cigar and cutter in hand I made my way. As I sat down I thought, "I'm I seriously going to sit out here", oh yeah, I was. Nothing short of gale force winds and a chill in the air that would make an eskimo shiver. The week has sucked and I'm turing it around, baby.
This short robusto was beautiful with the rich brown wrapper holding a reddish hue. The perfect cap perfectly cut off. Flicked the switch for my wind-resistant torch which proceeded to blow sideways torching the top of my thumb, so I reangled the cigar to light the foot. The first few puffs were giving me a taste of distinction; Sun Grown. Well crap, one bite into it my sandwich & it blows of the table. Correct the bad light, scoop up the sandwich and put it back together.
Working thru the 1st 3rd on this cigar I've enjoyed a bit of spice and creaminess with a hint of sweetness ontop. The flavor was more than just tasty, it was scrumptious. Finished with lunch and 1/2 way thru I adjourned to the car. Wanted to read a little while finishing both lunch & cigar.
I kept having to look at the cigar as if it were going to speak to me and give me a clue on the missing flavor. There was something there but I'm not sure what it was. Still buring with some spice {not as much} & creaminess this cigar never became harsh. All the way through the taste was delightful. At this point I couldn't help think, "do I like these more than the maduro?".
The ash was flakey and could be found in three places; out the window, ashtray and down my shirt into my lap. Oh well! I like good ash but I don't think it'll even determine what cigar I smoke. I don't shoot a gun to catch a bullet and I don't eat a steak to crtique....[we'll leave that alone]
It came time to pinch this off and head back into work. I felt great. I was relaxed and feeling rejuvenated. Yeah, I was headed back in but damn I felt better.
The Chateau SG left a soft taste which stayed with me for about another hour allowing me to remember the smoke. I would recommend this cigar to anyone. It comes medium in body and packs yummy flavors to keep you happy. It was a very good cigar.
