Had another great cigar from Ismith75. This time it was a Repasado 96 Connecticut, his golfing cigar. I had a couple friends back for in town for the holidays, so we sat outside a local coffee get together spot and shared it, they're more cigarette people, but I shared what little knowledge I have, and i think they enjoyed the experience and were interested in smoking some more cigars in the future. We're all a little sick out here, first big snow and we all have stuffy noses and coughs so my olfactory senses weren't up to par, but I really enjoyed this smoke. It started out quite smooth with no particularly distinguishable taste and a nice warm feeling on the tongue. Later down the cigar started to have a real nice oak taste especially right after blowing the smoke out, and after that an almost rose or cherry wood / branch taste. We smoked it almost to the end, where it heated up a bit, this one packed a big nicotine hit and I don't drink as much coffee as used to so after our get together I was a little light footed, but an altogether memorable smoke and time. Would definitely suggest this cigar and wouldn't mind keeping a couple in my coolidor, it's a nice one to share if you aren't a heavy cigar smoker because it's quite big and smokes for a while. All in all many thanks to Ismith75 and I look forward to smoking another from the great selection he sent me.
