Getting ready for an H. Upmann Sun Grown short churchill. Never been much of a morning smoker but giving it a try with this and some Jack Daniel's coffee.

how did you like it?
very good. seemed a bit young, little bit of harshness that time will probably fade.

the ash was bone white, burn was pretty good - only had one touch up that was probably optional. good amount of smoke the whole time, especially towards the end (as expected for a DC).

the last few inches were packed with flavor. At the moment, I would take a fresh Hamlet over a fresh Reynaldo (based on the back to back ones I've had in the last couple of days)... however, the Reynaldo seems like it could benefit and hold up from long term aging more than the Hamlet.

to be concise though: very good.
