My Simple review.. I like this cigar a lot and soon I will be buying a box of them. If I can I will get two boxes.. One to smoke now and one to age. The best new cigar I have smoked in a long time.
I've been wanting to try this one. I love AB cigars.
As far as AB's go, it's right up there with the Tempus for me... and I LOVE the tempus... I've managed to collect about a box and a half of them without buying a box... the trick is to bury them in your cooler... i never want to dig stuff out cuz I usually can't get it all to fit back in...
I'm surprised no one has commented on the different flavor profiles that Irish and I experienced... I said coffee at last 4 times in my post and Irish didn't say it once... seems like our experience was similar from a body and strength standpoint, but the flavors were different... it's pretty cool to have instant feedback from someone else on the exact same topic...

I think Brett said so many different flavors that I just assumed coffee was in there!

I agree with Ken on this one... I have REALLY been trying hard lately to refine my palate as deeply as possible and pick up even the slightest hints of any notes possible, hence why my reviews have gotten far longer than previously, and why I didn't say coffee. It is true that I picked up coffee throughout the experience but it was IMHO because of the flavors blending subtly together that brought out the coffee but the notes I got were still different enough that I named it as such. I would say that honestly you and I got darned near the same experience and simply because EVERY person's definition of certain flavors are different we will always get somewhat different experiences, but overall we got the SAME thing! GREAT review Rob and we really did pick up the same general profile if you read back through

oh man... you get to smoke INSIDE?
LOL... it's the local lounge that I found a few weeks back in Lafayette.. it's an official Diamond Crown Lounge, hence the ashtray
No problem, and thank YOU Mike! As for the cut method, I prefer the punch for a few reasons. One of those reasons is that since it keeps the cap far more intact than the Xi cutter, I get less tobacco bits in my mouth. The second is that I prefer to taste the wrapper instead of the filler when I am smoking and the smoke seems a little richer because it is enhanced by the taste of the wrapper instead of the rolled tobacco filler/binder. Ultimately it really just comes down to choice, and that I like using the punch aesthetically and I like the draw better.
