Picture of tools below, a little 12 year Chivas, cutter, lighter, and glass of water.
57 degrees, back porch, a little chilly, but a space heater for the legs.
Decided to go with some Cross Canadian for tunes to relax, kiddos are tucked away in bed.
Pre-light - nothing special, smooth tobacco smell, typically prefer a strong maduro, so this is at the other end of the spectrum.
1st third - smooth, a little weak
2nd third - still nothing complex, strictly one note, and it's soft
Last third - a little harsh finish, same one note
Overall, it's worth what I paid. Impressively, the construction was solid, it smoked evenly and easily held an inch ash, well rolled for this price. It's better than a pirates gold or other cheap cigar, but that's about it. Would recommend when enjoying as secondary distraction - on the golf course, while working in the shop, or turning wrenches in the garage.
