borndead1 has a spectacular aura aboutborndead1 has a spectacular aura about
Default Henry Clay War Hawk corona

5" x 44

I bought one of these from a smoke shop in BFE a couple of years ago, and they have become a favorite of mine. Really nice smoke. Well constructed, too. I've smoked at least 30 of them and haven't had a dud yet. They are a full 'strength' cigar, but not harsh through the nose at all. Starts out with straight tobacco for the first inch or so, then some baking spice and anise come in. After the halfway point, that anise flavor lingers on the palate. I've tasted anise in a lot of cigars, but never had that flavor stay present on my palate between draws. It's pretty cool, honestly. Nice depth to the flavor for a CT wrap stick.

These are a really good drankin' cigar. I've smoked these with both beer and wine and they paired very nicely.

You can score 5 packs of these for at/just above $4/stick on C-Bid.

But you better not outbid me, sucka!
