Newbies Review: Players Club by Don Diego

colinb913 · 03-14-2010, 12:22 PM

A boy, and his cigar..

Players Club by Don Diego was a very mild smoke, pepper, and earthy tobacco.. I sensed a small amount of cinnamon, and strong black pepper on my tongue. It has small veins, very light wrapper, however when I cut it, there were some cracks at the tip. Could be a bad cut job.. The draw was fair, slightly too loose. You can pick up this cigar here.

First Third:

Very nice burn, easy going. Strong tobacco and earth flavors on my tongue, the retrohale was a strong tobacco taste and burned, but could be due to me being new.

Second Third:

Strong pepper prevails, over powering the tobacco flavor. It actually burns my lips, however is very enjoyable. I also sense small traces of sugar.. Is that also... Leather.?

Third Third:

The cigar is winding down, going back to the strong tobacco flavor, some small hints of cinnamon here and there along with leather. There is a slight sweet background.

Over all this was an enjoyable smoke. I paired it with some homemade peanut butter cookies, and all 23 flavors of Dr. Pepper. It was very good, and never got harsh. Huge clouds of blue-gray smoke, which was velvet smooth on my tongue. Leaves a mild taste on my pallet that I can't quite explain..

Taste: 24/25
Construction: 22/25
Draw/Burn:19/25
Smoke: 23/25

Total: 88

PS: The Flor De Olivia was cracked beyond repair, that is why its in the "ashtray" and the cigarettes are not mine..

Sounds good. I've always overlooked these b/c I figured at the price it was a $h!t cigar. But your review makes me want to try one.

Thanks.
