MBOMBAY mini review

[Senor Perfecto]

Good looking stick with a red wrapper and big beautiful band.





Little leather odor on the prelight.
Closed foot.
Leather cold draw (not much due to closed foot).
Draw slightly tight but not annoyingly so.



Nice even burn.
First third has some harshness
Not complex; wood, leather. That's it.
Too much pepper to comfortably retro for me.



Boy I don't do this often. But there's so little flavor here I don't care to finish it.



Moving on to a sure thing: Tat Noellas Reserva. Gnite!

Wow, sorry that this one didn't deliver for ya. I've had this blend in the other vitolas and it has been a good smoke, not mind-blowing, but good. Anything you can think of that can may have contributed to it being that terrible, besides the blend? rH? Do you think a nap would have helped? I would hate to write this stick off if you happened to get a dud. That sucks bro. Thanks for the review, my friend.

Very weird. But hey, it led you to a Noellas...so, you can never understand God's plan, you just follow it to the glory land.

It was a gift, and I rested it for about 3 days in my humi, then had it tubed out of the humi all day prior to smoking (kind of drybox). Felt good in the hand, not dry, not wet, cut well, etc. I might give it another shot sometime, especially if I can get my hands on a lancero.

3 days rest after shipping, or was the gift hand delivered?

Its always a bummer when a stick doesn't deliver. Cool band though.

Handed to me from the humi at a B&M.

Gotcha.
I know you are a seasoned smoker...Didn't mean to assume anything there thought maybe too little rest might have affected the flavor profile.

No worries Clint
