First review, go easy! I've got a completely undeveloped and illiterate palate, so help me out if you can!
Construction: Feels nice, and its oh so cute! I still feel effeminate.
Appearance : I like the shape. Skinny to fat, with a nipple on the end. Small in stature, can a stogie this petite actually satisfy a 6'5" 250lb (all muscle of course ) man such as myself? Read on!
Drink of choice: Nothing, I was on the dike that keeps my city from sinking. God forbid an earthquake happens!
Pre light draw and aroma : Tastes like a cigar. Draws tight because I didn't clip the foot, but that'll fix itself!
First third : Didn't enjoy the first few puffs. I lit it with a triple torch (c.o. Rob at taboo!!) by way of toasting the foot, no lighting puffs. I then purged it, let it sit for a minute, and drew the first taste. Like I said the first few puffs weren't the greatest, but hey, I hear thats common. That went away, and heres what my noob palate tasted :
Something kind of like caramel sauce (what sits on the bottom of the iced venti caramel macciatos I love so dearly.)
Cigar taste (maybe thats nicotine?)
Back of my tongue felt "peppery" I tried, but I couldn't taste it on the front, like real pepper can be.
At this point a friend came along! It looked like someone had spilt a drink, so this little critter kept me company:tu
Second third :
Mint? Not the flavor, but the way it makes your mouth feel. Kind of like puffing on a menthol cig, but thats obviously not the case here.
Some sort of wood. Didn't last long, but it was there.
Sweetness. Not caramel-y like before, but just...sweet.
At this point I was happy with life. Here's a pic of me so you have a face to my username!
Last third :
Pretty much the same as the second, but the flavors seemed to back off. I don't know if that should happen, or whether my palate was just overcome, but hey, I'm just a noob right?
Burial:
A garbage can is no place for a smoke. I decided to send mine off into the water in a blaze of glory, viking style! Here it is resting on the precipice of its death before toppling into the abyss of the bilge outflow that keeps my house from being 3 feet underwater!
So, if I were to give this a sort of numbered rating system, it would be
Appearance: 8/10
Taste : 6/10
Construction : 9/10
Burn : 8/10 (corrected once)
Value : 5/10 (I wouldn't buy more, I've had smokes I've liked better)
So thats a 36/50, or 72%. :BSI however am taking the liberty of scoring this one with a special catagory; Manliness.:BS
Manliness : -5
Mathil adjusted score : 31/50, or 62%. A C.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, give me input and feedback! Correct my misnomers of the things I tasted, and tell me what you think/taste of these smokes!
