Thanks to Justin (Twenty5) for the cigar!!

Light up was peppery,not over powering,but definitely there.
a tingly sensation on the lips and tongue,kind of like when you bite into a radish.

lots of smoke. pepper is still there,not as strong,joined by a little wood and a hint of something else i can't place.

nice white ash

a full bodied cigar. it's windy out,but it's burning great.no issues.
1/2 way and i'm feeling it. pepper still there.smooth with a woodsy taste and kind of a toffee flavor coming through

woodsy pepper taste still there,just a little more subtle,and a spice that reminds me of brown mustard.
this is the first Frank i have smoked and i'm understanding why they are praised and coveted

flavors have held steady and true. every puff has a little spice kick to it. not a hot burning cigar at all.
been smoking over an hour now and my tongue still has the tingle it had from the start

getting to the sad part. it keeps smoking and kicking like it doesn't want it to end either.
a fine smoke right down to the nub

Frank's gone...

Thanks for the review Shuckins. I had my first one a few weeks ago and LOVED it. I've been told that when these first hit, they were pepperbombs, so it would appear that it's mellowed out quite a bit since it's original release.

GREAT flavors with just a little spice....

Hmm, that's what I heard as well and was about to post the same thing. Except I did not get to smoke on like you :boxing: :stickbeat

Great review, Ron. Love the pics. I haven't smoked a Frank, but I do have one gifted by a generous brother here. I'm treasuring that.

Nice review :thumbsup:, yes very peppery when they first came out but a year of nap time has made them even better.
