Default Driving with Don Fernando

Not with The don himself but a toro sized cigars from Guillen cigars! I had some driving to do today so I grabbed one of these for the ride. It is a "beefy" cigar as far as strength goes. Lots of spice but not Pepin style spice. Lot's of rich smoke with a burnt marshmallow sweetness. Plenty of nic kick in this one. Has a leathery finish but got a little harsh towards the end. This could be because I was driving and tend to smoke a little too fast in the car. This cigar is worth some quiet-time smoking. Very good.

Thanks for the review Scott, honestly from the title I half-expected some adventur like John Candy in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

How does he know which way we want to go?!??

Hahaha, sometimes I laugh alone.

I was afraid of that. Andy likes to make those potent type cigars. I did just get gifted on as a keep sake though.... Maybe Don will initial it for me
