Default Honduran Selection Blend 1945 - Mr. Bundles review

Background: As I stated on this post I ordered these in May 2007 from Mr. Bundles based on Uncle Mikey's recommendation.

If I remember correctly I paid appx $30-40 for a bundle. They came unbanded. These are my "go to" morning cigar but alas, I have 3 remaining.

Bundles can be a hit or miss but I can say with no hesitation that this bundle was my best cigar score.

Let's start the review:



Pre-light: Firm but not hard, well made cigar. Almost no smell on the foot. Easy draw.



1st Third: First few puffs welcome me with loads of creamy and almond flavor. Smooth and velvety smoke.
A few touch ups are required but it may be due to the way I toasted the cigar.

Near the end of the 1st Third, I get hints of sweetness and cedar in the background. This cigar is starting awesome!



2nd Third: Almond nuttiness slowly going away. Still smooth with no harshness.
This cigar gives out a good amount of smoke but remains smooth and cool. Flavors start to turn to coffee and cocoa to the front.



Last Third: Totally diggin this cigar! Coffee and cocoa still in the front with cedar slowly coming back in the background. These flavors remain until the end.

Conclusion: I love this cigar! It's one of the mildest cigars I have in my collection and after resting 5 years in my humi, the flavors remain but without the harshness associated with younger cigars. I really wish Uncle Mikey would carry this blend again, I would without hesitation, order 5 bundles right away.
