Mike and not-Shawn (Ed) reviews Victor Sinclair

[Cigar Mike]

Well, Ed's stepping in for Shawn again tonight. (Come on back home, Shawn, all is forgiven!)

Tonight Ed pulled a pair of "Victor Sinclair" 7" sticks out of Scott's Grab-Bag-of-Goodness that I have here. They look like a little smaller than 50-gauge, and I'm hoping that we're taking a step up in the world after yesterday's adventures in tastelessness.

This has a pretty light wrapper, but solid, consistent construction. These two sticks seem to have weathered the ups and downs of travel to the Middle East and questionable storage here at my place just fine, I hope, anyways.

Before lighting, they've got a little bit of a spicy smell to them, and I'm guessing they will turn out to be a little more flavorful than they look.
