Dog Rocket #5
From Silound's description: #5 Supposed Cuban knockoffs, these are about as Cuban as I am. Also, they smell like a leprous goat. Pity, because they honestly look decent. I haven’t a clue where these are from.
My take: Lonsdale sized cigar, very well rolled honestly. Solid stick, no soft spots, perfect draw. Pre-light draw is a very faint grassy flavor.
First few draws are very bitter and grassy, with a sour aftertaste. The aroma coming from the foot is pretty nice though, like baking cocoa. The flavor of the cigar is not good at all so far.
I will try to tough it out though.
About 1" in, same bitter grass flavor, with an aftertaste of rancid butter. Man this thing is nasty. Why, oh why did I sign up for this?
About 2" in, the flavor profile of this cigar is showing an amazing complexity. I can taste grass, hay, pencil lead, and rotten milk. I do not, however, taste the notes of leprous goat that Silound described. Obviously my palate is not as refined as his.
OK, I lasted as long as I could. Made it almost halfway. Dog Rocket #5 was truly a dog rocket.
Only
11 more dog rockets to go! Yay!
