2014 Pene de Burro (BGRW)

[Habana Mike]

This little beauty was picked up from a renowned roller in Havana during my 2014 trip.

Figure why not smoke a big dog for the big dog review!

Rough-hewn Colorado wrapper. Massive in size.

Had to use the largest punch cutter from my 3-way Colibri

I think it's at least a 68 ring gauge, possibly larger.

Cold draw is dank earth, leather, Brazil nut.

Lights easily with the covered foot flaming up, producing a huge volume of smoke through the slightly resistant draw.

Earth and black pepper are the predominate notes in the first inch.

Poured a bit of 13yo Dickel BiB, whisky of the year 2019 per the Whisky Advocate.13 years introduced a lot of oak into the dram.

Stands up well to the strength of the cigar.

Now who rolls a cigar this big and strong?

Still earthy and peppery with woody notes coming through. Very full bodied with plenty of Ligero!

Lasted through the movie. Interesting smoke, glad I let it rest a few years.

Would have knocked me on my ass if I smoked it fresh I believe.

4/5 stars
