LG Small Batch #4

I don't usually buy cigars over $14, I have just had so many experiences where the cigar was a total disappointment or I felt ripped off or it was really really really not worth it.

Being that I was given some money for Father's Day and everything was 10% off I purchased a usually $18 cigar from a company that I enjoy 90% of their cigars.

The cigar was a rough, veiny, oily churchill size cigar. It was under-filled at the head when I bit down lightly for a pre-light draw.

The cigar was medium at the start with a cedar flavor that was light and pleasant. Strength built with flavors that I can only described as spinach, barley, and currents. A medium grey ash ringed dark fell off on its own at 1.25 inch.

Half-way the cigar was strong spice notes of black pepper, cayenne, and hot cinnamon. With 3 inches left the cigar began to unravel, at 2 inches it stared to fall apart. The last inch was so hot, strong, and falling apart - all over me, I let it go.

It lasted just over an hour and a half. A good cigar that I would smoke again if it was $10 or less but for $18, not good enough. Few cigars are but I like to say that I have tried most Litto Gomez cigars.

I guess I am also chasing one of the best cigars I ever had which was a LG Small Cabinet Cameroon in 2007 that was outstanding.
