Ok, so after lots of delays by fedex (GRRRRR) I FINALLY got my wheel of 50 of these, simply bought on the premise that they are worth it. The members of CS did a great job of talking this one up, and it did not dissapoint!
First thing I noticed when taking them out of the package was they were a bit wet and spongy, but I ALWAYS smoke one right after I get it, just to get a base feel for the cigar.....
First, I will mention, this cigar costs an ASTRONOMICAL (insert sarcasm here) 50 cents/stick.... So I wasn't expecting it to burn perfect, or ash perfect, and it didn't, but for the price.. the taste was simply put, WONDERFUL.
1/3- As I lit up, I noticed the draw was a bit tight... no biggie, but just a bit more tight than I am used to. I attribute this to the wetness and freshness of the cigar. The ash was a flaky ash, grey in color. The taste was great. It was very nutty, with a hint of spice for that first 3rd of the smoke. Enjoying it alot so far!
2/3- The spice kicked up a little bit more, but not TOO much. The nuttiness still there. Not more nutty, or less nutty, but THERE!
3/3- This is where the ninja stealth strength of the cigar kicked in. I got a little more spice, and a lot more nuttiness, but without food in me, I was feelin it! It was tasting great! I nubbed it as far as I could without lighting my beard on fire.
All in all, this is NOT a boring smoke. Its a GOOD smoke.. For the price, its a GREAT smoke. It doesn't change flavors really, through the entire smoke, but I didn't expect it to.
With that being said, according to ThecigarFO, they are going to be shipping via UPS in about 10 days, and at that time, I will pull the trigger on a wheel of the #7 reservas and try that one.
This was a great smoke for the money, and I urge ANYONE on the fence about them to just PULL THE TRIGGER!!!
Oh yeah, one more thing. The customer service is great, and email communication is TOP NOTCH!
