Central Canada, eh?
Last night we were discussing this cigar, and I promised to smoke one, and then start this review thread on it.

This is a 5 x 54 cigar with all long filler Nicaraguan filler and an Indonesian Sumatra wrapper. Appearance was nearly flawless, with a few small veins, and a very nice cap. They are available on a number of internet retailers, and cost aproxamately $39.95 a bundle of 25, or $2.00 a piece.

I clipped this one, and emediatly noticed a rather tight draw that did no diminsh even after purging it with my paper clip poker. The initial taste was rather pleasant, milder with a good woodsy flavor.

I tried to smoke this as much as I could, but gave up on the tight draw, and decided to move to another cigar after about 1.5 inches or so. I am going to age it a little in my smoking room, and then revisit it at a later date. I find this does tend to loosen up a tight cigar, and so stay posted for further reviewing.
