Manufacturer: Por Larranaga
Brand: Cuban Grade
Size: Corona Gorda (5.5x44)
Wrapper: Conneticut
I was handed this stick at the start of a golf game today, so no pictures. The contruction is very good and cigar is handsome to look at. Nice smooth wrapper, no veins visible. Used my cheepo golf cutter and the cigar cut beautifully. Toasted and lit well. It is hard to break up a golf smoke into 1st, 2nd and 3rd, but I dont think it would have mattered much with this cigar. The flavor (or more precisely the LACK of flavor) was consistant from start to finish. No grassy flavor that most people report with other Por Larranaga, maybe a week hint of spice and some sweetness. The cigar is also very mild in body. The burn was excellent and straight until it went out with about 2 inches while I was on the tee (maybe 4 minutes). I did not relight and pulled something else out my bag. I would not buy this cigar but if you are handed one on a golf course, you could do a lot worse.
I score it 6/10 (although being my first review on CS this is absolutely meaningless)
Long ashes!
