Had a terrific experience with a cigar today, that I kept putting off because of the size. Thanks ENFIDL for giving this to me. It was a Trinidad Churchill Maduro. I kept avoiding it because I thought I would not have time in the morning to smoke it. I had it with some H20. It had a soft leathery feel to it. I used my Xi3 Redwood to cut it and Xikar Exodus to light it. It was medium in strength which was very pleasing to know. I really thought this was going to rock me this morning. But that's not the make shift of this cigar. Started smoking it at 0545 and it ended at 0715. Sweetness of chocolate still coates my mouth from this cigar. Vegetable and sweet leather flavors is what I got from this and on each pull a mild spice. The burn was razor sharp, I was impressed also by how long the ash held. The cigar was packed tight and the ash was a solid gray all around. It was not big on smoke. Overall, for this being my first one ever smoked outside of a Cuban Trinidad. I have to say it was really flavorful and tastey. Had this in my humidor since September 27th when E gave it to me. Thanks again ENFIDL.
I did a little scouting around to see what others thought of this cigar. There is a bunch of mixed reviews on it. Which tells me that it may be a inconsistant cigar. Even with saying that. It's nothing wrong with getting two or three of them and letting them sit for awhile. Then firing one up. If that first one is a no go. Let it rest a while and try it again before giving up on it. I also failed to mention that I keep all my cigars in my cabinet at 65% and in my humidors at 69%. I know this may sound wierd to some. But I rarely take one out of either and smoke them right then. Since I do most of my smoking in the morning. I usually have a cigar before work. That's why I usually have a corona or robusto. I'll grab three to five cigars that catch my eye on Monday and I'll put them in my travel herf a dor. I usually use a boveda 69% bag for humidification. I also have a thin sheet of spanish cedar in there. I don't know if that's over board. But that's how I do it.

MY History - Well, it's been a while since I last did a review. But this cigar got my attention. And guess what, it's a budget stick. That's right, every now and again something like this catches my attention. I wasn't going to smoke it. But I was compelled to by the luring appeal of the wrapper. I did my custom glance over my cigars in the cabinet and this one said it's time. This bad boy has been in my cabinet since I got it up and running. Before that, the bundle sat in my cooledor for about six months. It has been in there a total of a year and half un touched. I got it by listening to Tim. That's right The Beard got me. Pennies for a bundle, I can't remember. But what I do remember is him(Tim) saying something to the fact that this cigar is toasty with a bread like flavor. From that, I knew I had to try it. Anyway, when I got it. I also got a few other things and this one never got touched.
So on with this review
Thanks JHewey and I'll remember that
Thanks Doug, this morning i went searching for some reviews on it. And I saw that they came in glass tubes. I guess thats why the price was so low. The box and tubes look very nice. Interesting you say mild. My palate has a long road ahead, lol. While smoking this cigar, in first third to the half way point. It was mild/ medium to me. I guess in the middle of the road so to speak. From the half way point on it was medium. I felt pretty good afterwards. I can honestly say it was flavorful. I went back to my emails to track down how much it cost me and all that Tim said about it. It is kind of my tracking and date keeping when I purchase something. But I was right in my description on what he said. The bread flavor was what made me buy it. A different flavor...
Thanks Brett, appreciate your input. Will probably try to do another this weekend. Thinking about doing a CroMagnon Anthropology. Just depends if I'm in the mood for it then. I had one a week ago and it was pretty good.
