Now I'm not one to collect cigars. I buy them to smoke them, this being said I am enjoying one of my favorites right now.
When I pulled this little guy out of the cello the peppery goodness was the first thing I noticed. I moistened the head a bit before cutting and was again hit with a wonderful white pepper taste. After clipping I took a pre-light draw and was surprised by the spiciness. It took quite a while for this smoke to toast but I stuck with it and once I got it going it burned true.
For such a small smoke I was impressed by the flavor, smoke and strength. I enjoyed it with about three fingers of Knob Creek and would only have enjoyed it more with maybe four fingers of Bookers.
I am still too much of a newb to completely explain the experience but I will give it a try.
The flavor hit me about mid palate and mainly at the tip of my tongue. While allowing the smoke to flow through my nose as I have read so many here do I expected it to be harsh. It was not at all, I can see why so many do this now though. It brought a whole new dimension to this wonderful cigar.
I have seen many talk about this not being worth the price and I paid about $13.00 for it, I disagree. This was very enjoyable and those moments are few and far between as I get older. But that certainly makes this all the more sweet.
Well I nubbed this till I literally burnt my fingers and I didn’t want to put it out. I know this isn’t the best review but the knob Creek was starting to kick in.
