Chico ?

SSDVC · 07-18-2010, 08:48 PM

In a bar in Jersey last night. No cigars, but lots of sticks being burned. Got offered one. It had a red band around the burn end and it said "Chico" and the logo was a circle with a backwards "c", Capital "R" and then a forward "c".

Anyone heard of it?

The stick was a little harsh at first, but then it mellowed out and had a lot of flavor and wasn't a bad smoke overall. Light on the nicotine too. Left a really nice tight ash, which held on for at least an inch or so.

Anyway, I am not a connoisseur, but this wasn't a bad smoke.

I'm not sure of the cigar, but where in Jersey were you smoking in a bar?
