Default Re: What cigar did you smoke today?

This morning it was a CI Anniversary Epicure (6.0" X 52) with a pot of hot java. This was the first one I've tried and I think I like it. More of a medium bodied smoke teetering on the verge of mild until the last 3rd of the stick or so. I can live with that. The burn was lazer straight up until the last 2 inches where it became a little wavy, but not unruly. I loved the shape of the cigar with a light box press. It was sort of a box press with the edges rounded off. The ash was a little flaky and held on for about an inch before dropping off.

With a nice tobacco flavor, this was not a complex smoke by any means, however, the beautiful burn and construction helped to keep my attention.

These will be a nice introduction to my Saturday morning smoke this summer.
