FOH-Mother Superior review

[mwaller]

When Rob first posted about his new line of Cuban custom rolls, I knew I had to try them.  While my experience with customs is limited to a handful of rollers, my impression has been overwhelmingly positive.  Especially in comparison to factory Habanos, which tend to be inconsistent and often harsh on the palate when "fresh." 

For the sake of full disclosure, I tend to smoke cigars like a shop vac... Perhaps for this reason, I find large ring cigars more to my liking.  They can take the abuse without overheating.  When my order of FOH customs arrived yesterday, I could resist trying one right away.  

As advertised, the construction is very good.  The drew was a perfect medium.  While it doesn't come through in the pictures, the wrapper was exceptionally oily and supple.  This cigar felt like soft soapstone in the hand.  

The cigar opens with notes of roasted coffee and nuts, and these remain the dominant flavors throughout.  This is a decidedly a savory cigar - and a rich powerful one at that.  Youth and travel shock show up in the second half of the cigar, which becomes a bit muddled with a touch of ammonia.  With more rest, this cigar will be a home run!

Thanks for the review! I told myself I was going to let them rest before trying one...but it’s hard because they look and smell SOOO good.

WOW, did some damage to that CC.  There seems to be a little leaf on the back side that you could have still smoked - Ha!
