Well I finally broke down and smoked one of these tonight after letting them rest for about a month. No pic's sorry, need batteries for cam.
So I will make this a mini review.
Beautiful yellow cellophane, nice medium brown wrapper. Love the old school wrap with a little hole on the cap end so no cut needed.
Prelight draw just tasted of nice tobacco, but no mustiness or other indications this was a nearly 60yr old smoke! :dr
Draw was perfect, nice aromatic smoke and clean woodsy flavors. Col. Potter had a line in MASH, "There arent enough "O's" in smooth" to describe this smoke. I was kind of surprised at both the strength(medium) and the tar buildup at the tip. I had to purge a few times, but each time I did it returned to its previous smooth, creamy nature.:ss
Great smoke all the way down to the nub! :tu
Thanks to Dave(Hollywood) for allowing us to sample a few of his precious treasures! :chk
