Uncle Mikey has been selling Habanos Puros for some time, but they recently changed the banding and blend (from what I'm told). I picked up one torp of a number of the different wrappers that he has: Cameroon, Natural, Ecuador Shade, Sumatra, Sun Grown, H-2000. Tonight was Cameroon's turn.
I will preface by saying that I am a big fan of the old blend Rosada that he is selling out for 15 bucks a bundle. A buck thirty three for a nice cigar ... are you kidding me? But the new blends also have bands indicating the wrapper on them, so I wanted to try them out.
This is a nice looking torp, $35.95 for a bundle of 20. I snipped the cap and went outside while the rigitoni was cooking in the oven. The construction is nice, perfect draw, the burn likewise until half way down when I used some spit to even it out. Medium gray ash.
The Cameroon character came through, the smoke was medium strength but very tasty. If you like Cameroons and want an inexpensive cigar I recommend these highly. I'll smoke one of each of the others the rest of the week and post my impressions here as well.
