Last week, Awesome Andy passed me a few of these cigars. He was celebrating the birth of his triplets. (Congratulations Andy, thanks for the smokes) and tonight I headed to the Porch and tried one out.
My initial pre-light inspection revealed a leathery, maduro wrapper and the cigar had a lightweight feel to it. This may be due to the questionable humidity level in my humidor. I found no defects in the wrapper and the appearance of this cigar was rather inviting.
After pouring my beer of choice for the night, which happened to be a Raging Bitch Belgium Style IPA I lit up and began enjoying this cigar. I came to the conclusion that this cigar had a fairly rich flavor and on several occasions it went out on me, which is common at this venue where good conversation often leads to cigar neglect.
The total burn time was about an hour and twenty minutes and overall I think this stick is in a class better than a typical yard-gar but still a bit rough on the edges. Overall I’ll score it a B-.
