Viaje Skull and Bones MOAB

04-29-2011, 10:58 AM

Origin: Nicaragua
Length: 4 1/4
Ring Gauge: 54
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Cut: Xicar (first cap)
Burn: 1:05
Strength: Full

First try with a fiver of these that have been sitting in the cooler for a couple of months (65% RH). Very nice smelling stick, great construction, draw was perfect. Initial flavors were very nice, oustanding complexity with a nice little spice kick on the back. Copious amounts of white smoke, and the ash held on for a good inch and a half. Unfortunately, I had to perform 2-3 touch ups and relights. The MOAB wasn't tunneling, it just burned inconsistently. The previous reviews have been spot on, in that this cigar needs more time in the humidor, and I won't touch the other four I have for at least another year. This will be a complex flavor bomb and I was impressed overall despite the burn issues. Would I buy more of these? Without a doubt, if you can find them!
