A couple of weeks ago brudda Hawkan laid some seriuos smack down on Newtland. :smt062
Contained in the smack was a very nice looking unbanded Corona. I PM'd Hawkan and among other things I asked "what is the mystery cigar" :smt102
To wich he replied... "eat a big dinner, sit down and smoke it, then be sure to tell me what you thought of it." :smt076 Damnit... the delayed pain :smt090
So... Tonight I have and am doing just that, big dinner... Check. Good coffee (roasted by me) Check. Good companionship in the form of good 'ol chippy... CHECK
Construction: very good, very smooth and oily... one very fine looking cigar
On cutting this cigar the pre draw on this cigar meant unfortunatly that I was in for trouble, it was plugged. The few notes that I could taste were woody and earthy.
I lit it anyways (I'll be damned if I'm going to give up on anything Hawkan sent me all the way from unda... heh... I said fromunda... anyways.. sorry) The draw was deffinatly going to need to be delt with. The good news is that Chippy cleans like any man that I know so there happened to be a nice bamboo skewer waiting for me next to my chair.
I unfortunatly wont be able to provide decent review for the first half of the cigar as I spent most of the time poking and prodding and skewering this cigar.
The second half however this cigar finnally started to open up... DAYUM. I started to taste earthy, woodsy and some salt... And continueslly getting stronger and stronger.
Chippy was pointing and laughing at this point as I never comment that a cigar is strong as I find that quite attractive in a cigar. This was a strong cigar and very very enjoyable after getting through the pluggedness of it.
My guess though... I'm going to say this was a RAC, reminded me very much of the RASCC wich is a great cigar as well.
All in all, a wonderfull night with a great cigar that ended very well. :smt033
