Day launched with a Dominican Repulbic Cohiba - Red Dot, in Churchill size. These Cigar are normally perfectly constructed, but if you look close at the "foot" area, it is a little crooked. After straight cutting the "cap" area what a trade tight to my liking, so a little help from my "PerfecDraw" it opened up , and air flowed nice, draw I'm proved.:cigar: After fixeing the Cigar up (light-up) it burned even, and for a nice even ash. I like a nice long semitrical ash because I tend to let ashes get long, as the keeps the hot part of the foot area cooler, producing cooler smoke, with more flavor. JMHO.:sneaky:

This is a Medium - Strongish blend that has a great flavor profile I would call earthy, with hits of nuts, leather, and slight of spiciness. :cigar: This Cigar is a nice compliment to my morning strong black coffee.

Almost gone, it was a very good Cigar. IMHO. :D
Those get knocked a bit. They need quite a bit of time to shine.

Yup totally agree. These Black Ops always have good construction, burn and taste. Slap a Padron or Montecristo-ish band on there and you’d really have something.
I agree with you about the band. I'm a huge proponent of the "less is more" theory. However, I am excited to smoke the one you sent me. (thanks again!)

@bostoneo, the word proponent means a person who is in favor of something. In this case, I am in favor, or a proponent, of less design and marketing being on a cigar band.
