I saw these several times on Cbid and became curious
enough to buy a fiver. What an interesting smoke these turned out to be.

I bought the Triple. The cap was a beautiful, almost black Maduro
continuing down the stick. Next were the Habano and the Connecticut
wrappers in barber pole fashion. As usual, I used my Zino double
guillotine and got a nice straight cut to reveal the same construction and
mix of tobacco as the foot.
As I lit my cigar, I had my first taste revealing an earthy flavor with
sweet toffee. The burn was even and my first ash was very light gray. It
dropped off fairly quickly. As I progressed into the first portion, I
started to get a hint of coffee and the ash started to grow, still light
gray and much sturdier at this point. The smoke was dense and the flavor
enjoyable.
As I entered the second third, I tasted hints of leather entering. The
burn was a little off, but corrected itself quickly. My experience with BP
wrappers was uneven burning and needing to be correction. This stick did
well.
Entering the third part, the ash was hanging on. I knocked it off before
it could fall in my lap and continued. I noticed the coffee and toffee
flavors again and still earthy. The stick became a little harsh and hot,
so I gave it a break for a couple of minutes. It calmed back down and
finished nicely.
All and all, a very nice cigar for the money. MSRP $9.00 * CI $99.95 box
of 20.
I paid $19.00 for 5 on Cbid. Very satisfied. |
