reg Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Gifted to me by a very generous member, thechenman, I still owe you Nice chocolatey looking cigar. A bit veiny. It was in a box of mixed cigars so I won't attempt to pick out cold smells. The cigar is firm, pre-light the draw is on the tight side but very manageable. The cap came off very cleanly and without much effort. The cigar is very consistent in terms of taste, toasted and sweet tobacco with some cocoa mixed throughout. The burn wasn't very consistent, maybe due to the draw, but it burned uneven and was close to going out a few times, especially near the end. Took about an hour or so to smoke. about midway through the smoke turned beautifully blue. Went very well with the Celebration Ale I drank with it. The pine of a nice beer goes perfectly with a cigar IMO. The cigar was enjoyable, but that different or special from other things out there? Not too sure, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I know a lot of people are fans of this cigar. Definitely not a disappointing cigar by all means, worth the smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKA27 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Great post Reg. The Mag 48 is one of my faves, a staple since their release. I have never had one burn unevenly before, perhaps a one off? Great pictures too bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khomeinist Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Nice post. Already killed a box of these. Celebration Ale is a winner. I am a Belgian sort of guy, but am originally from No-Cal and have gone through cases of Sierra. That Dry-Hopped Ale that comes in larger bottles is quite nice.

Yeah, I know you have to try a cigar more than once to give it a chance, but there is so much out there it might take me a while to get back around to the 48. maybe I'll try the 46 and connie 1 next to compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrody Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 46 is a must try! Resting some recent Connie 1's, but many here also say good things about them too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
