Default Viaje TNT

This stick was gifted to me by bigliver.
The construction was great, covered foot, a nice little 2 to 3 inch "fuse" on the cap...few notable veins to speak of. I enjoyed this stick on my back porch with a couple of Guiness.

Prelight: Not too great at this, but it tasted a little spicy, almost a bit floral...couldn't wait to light it!

First 1/3: Holy crap this thing makes a LOT of smoke....tasty, sharp smoke with lots of subtle nuances...peppery, woody, with a little sweet finish.


Second 1/3: All those "sharp" tasting nuances began to melt together a bit now, the cigar almost has a bit of creaminess blending the flavors a bit more. Paired wonderfully with the creamy Guiness I was drinking.


Final 1/3: Still great...FAR more concentrated flavors and the spiciness is a little more at the forefront now. I had a HARD time putting this stick down...delicious. I liked it a little better than the Summerfest, but maybe this is just what I wanted tonight.


Would I buy this stick?? Sure, if I could find one...if you have some, smoke them! I'm a big proponent of the whole "I've smoked one vs. I have one" mentality. Hopefully if you don't have one, a fine BOTL will make sure one finds its way to you!!
Happy smoking, brothers!!

Great review...thanks for sharing. While I agree that this was better than the Summerfest...I expected more spice from this one. I mean it is called TNT!!!

Thanks for the great review. I loved how the Guiness matched in thirds with the TNT!
