This is my first review so bear with me.
I ordered 3 bundles of the Oba!Oba! brand. These are made by the Perdomo factory as a house blend for bestcigars.com. I ordered the Toro 6x50 natural wrapper.
It is a mixed filled cigar with tobaccos from various Nicaraguan regions.
Upon removing one from the package, I first noticed a strong almost bitter smell. Heavy spice. Wrapper looked ok but a tad vieny. I clipped the cap and toasted the foot. First few draws felt very loose and tasted like wood. Ok at this point I am disappointed but willing to continue. About 1/3 of the way through it starts to get very bitter, still taste woody. No pleasurable flavors at all.Not a lot of smoke and a loose draw. This is the way I remembered my first few cigars way back when and why I haven't smoked any until recently again. The ash burns evenly and holds on well.I cant take the bitter aftertaste in my mouth anymore, I am searching for anything that taste or smells even remotely good,but alas its not there. I give up and let it go out after about 1/3 of the way. After scrubbing my mouth and tounge repeatedly I still have the " I just licked a cows ass" taste in my mouth. This morning taste still there which I am usually ok with but this damn thing tasted like crap ,I just wanted to forget about it.
Needless to say the cigars are on their way back to bestcigars.com already as they have a no hassle return policy on their products. I am so glad I wrote down others suggestions on bundles and will try again. Man I need a La Gloria tonight to right my ship.
Sorry no pics smoked the turd late last night and shipped the rest back early this am. If you have ever scooped dry dog turds then you no doubt know what an Oba!Oba! looks like. If you have for some reason smoked a dog turd you know what they taste like.
Have a great day and enjoy a cigar.
