Bugatti Ambassador Half Corona, 2017 (FRC)

Wilzc · June 4, 2018

Pretty well constructed cigar! feels great in the hand!

3.5 inches x 46 RG

Quad capped + QUAD BANDED!! we have a winner here!

Retails for about USD6.50 which is AMAZING value considering we have 4 bands here

First Band: Black ribbon around the foot of the cigar.

Looks like a regular polymer ribbon with a slight sheen. I like how it reflects just a little bit of light off its surface. Not hard to remove at all. A clear tape holds them together.

Second Band: Tiny cedar strip

This is cute! Very well applied! firm but slides off with minimal effort. Smells great with that whiff of cedar and hints of tobacco. Since they're too small to be used as cedar spills to light up the cigar, these will be retired in my cigar band hall of fame box.

Third Band: Red Ambassador Band

Nothing special about this one. It allows for the license holder of Bugatti cigars to help explain to the proud owners of this cigar that they're now ambassadors of the brand (disclaimer: cigar only, not the car). As carefully slide the band out with class and regality, I do feel a sense of pride and accomplishment welling up from inside me.

Final Band: BUGATTI

This is it! The creme de la creme! A blacked out band with carbon fibre looking prints allowing the B + Bugatti fonts to stand out in a tacky and extremely visible manner! I would love to have a few of these in my shirt pocket or maybe just held between my lips unlit as I walk around town as an exclamation and perhaps a chick magnet. The sense of accomplishment hits new heights! If you can't afford the car, smoke the see-gar.

Post Script: I did smoke an about an inch and a half of the cigar. In all honesty, not too bad of a cigar, lots of nicaraguan spices and slight toffee - chocolate hints fleeting in and out. They're about twice the price I'm comfortable with but hey BUGATTI only sells 10 cars a year! They gotta make money somehow elsewhere.
