Today was a beautiful day outside. So I decided to treat myself to an extra special smoke. My first Clear Havana. I believe it is from somewhere in the 1940's-1960's.

The clip was a little dry, but perfect.

The light was great. I even inhaled some of this bad boy. The draw was good. I never had a single burn issue. Not one relight.
The initial taste was very sweet but yet a slight bit sour too. In the first third there were were smooth tastes of sweet ceder & a hint of some type of nuts. The ash held on for about a half an inch before it dropped.

The second third of this old timer got a little better. I could taste more ceder & other "earthy" tastes. The ash held on for about an inch this time. I noticed that a hint of that sweet taste is on my lips.

The last third was the best part. I've never had a smoke that was this smooth & sweet. I got a hint of lime maybe. Now there are clouds of creamy smoke. The ash now falls freely.

I smoked it down until I burned my finger tips.

Then I smoked it a tiny bit more. Until there was nothing left.

I was sorry to see it end. But it was well worth it. It was great to get to smoke a little bit of history.

the clears are pretty exceptional if only for the fact that they are that OLD and still have have character. it's great to be able to experience them. nice review.

So cool, bro! That really is like smoking a piece of history. Just think about what the world was like back when this thing was rolled!

Where did you score this thing, anyway?

I was able to do a purchase of some of these fine smokes.

I am looking forward to my Robert Burns soon. I will find the first great weekend I can spend outside to smoke it.

And thanks for the review.
