Cuban No Date (C&DMar24)

[ndd]

 

Circumstances: WFH on a Friday.  Snuck outside to try this cigar while the wife is upstairs.  I am currently in possession of a total of 3 Cuban cigars [each a different brand].  I have only ever smoked 1 Cuban before in my life.  I recently started the hobby to the dismay of my wife 2 months ago. I will be sacrificing all 3 of the Cubans I have in stock for this month’s contest. 

Weather Conditions: 43 Degrees and Sunny.  Protected from wind.

Beverage:  French pressed WaWa coffee.  Room Temperature.

Total Smoke Time:  35 Minutes

Review: 

·      Taste: This thing sang Graham Cracker in chorus the whole way through.  

o   Flavor variation: 

§  1^st half of the cigar the flavor was consistently snappy and crisp.  I could clearly taste the tobacco leaf as it smelled pre-light.

§  2^nd half the resin buildup resulted in a cinnamon graham cracker flavor.

·      Burn:  Smoke was wonderfully consistent the whole way through.  Never got too hot.  No finger rolling required.

 

Insights:  We can all tell by the pictures this is a smaller cigar.  Does anyone else feel like never getting to enjoy the last 5^th of a cigar is a shame?  Maybe not getting to the last 5^th of a full size cigar makes sense if you just got a full 75 minutes out of it.. I say this because I am considering getting a mouthpiece to squeeze out an extra 5 minutes from a 30 minute smoke.

Depending where you are in the world, 43 degrees and sunny can mean two totally different things! 😉

Best of luck in this competition (and with your wife)! 👍

Ah yes good point:  43 degrees Fahrenheit.  So quite cold.

I suppose it might get 43 celsius in your part of the world. Only gets that hot in the desert over here in the states.
