A Don Sixto. I do not know where when or why I got it but I am glad I smoked it. Medium body with a creamy white pepper that enveloped my tongue with every puff. Quite satisfying.
Golfing with suppliers today and the salesman brought a box of "cohibas" with him. He got these "real cubans" in the domincian republic, a box of 10 was only $20! What a deal!
he doesn't smoke cigars and was so excited about it I didn't
Have the heart to tell him.
Still cool he thought about it and
Picked them up
But if I die you know what happened.

Lol, wow. That band isn't even close and the cigar itself looks pretty rough. Did it at least taste half way decent???
Wow ! Two bucks for a real Cohiba, that sounds almost too good to be true....Sometimes it's the thought that counts.
Yes, a "bargain" indeed!
I've only met him once before, we golfed in a 4-some earlier in the spring, and he "remembered I was into cigars" .... Seriously pretty cool, I was impressed he remembered. And yes it's certainly the thought that counts, he's a nice guy.....
I'm upset he got conned into buying fauxhibas

Sadly I only got about 15 decent "puffs" off of it so I can't give a proper, full review....but I'll tell you 15 puffs was more than enough.
Appearance --- the wrapper reminded me of a humvee painted in desert camo. At least it shared the same colors; tan, beige, sand, brown, etc. the wrapper color was varied, and spotty.
The band wasn't quite nice enough to have been printed at kinko's but its better than something from a 1990s ink-jet printer. Also I think the band was applied with the same amount of glue that kindergarteners use to make macaroni pictures.
Also, I can't forget to mention the "cap"....there was none! Seemed like they just folded the wrapper over itself (like you'd fold the top down on a brown paper lunch sack) and called it a day.
Feel --- spongy.... Seriously it would give the best tempur pedic mattress a run for its money. It had the same air:filler ratio as a family size bag of lays potato chips, 5 parts air:1 part filler.
And it almost had a damp feel to it.....I think the filler leaves may have come from webmost's "otters pocket" B&M
The wrapper was fairly smooth though, all things considered.
Flavor/aroma --- initial notes of sweet, maybe vanilla, possibly fruitiness. Something between a swisher sweet & a backwoods
But that quickly disappears and is replaced by a flavor that i can only describe as week-old, wet pizza box cardboard.
The aroma was a combination of wet dog and Ed hardy cologne...a first for me.
Burn ---- ever try to set a pile of wet leaves on fire with a zippo?
Now imagine trying to do that without the zippo.......get the idea?

Studying some Mechatronics.
So far so good. I've heard some good things about the Empire II. The IPA pairing is all wrong though.
