Dog Rocket #11

From Silound's description: Another “your guess is as good as mine” cigar.

My take: A churchill sized cigar with what appears to be a Connecticut wrapper. Heavy in the hand and well rolled. Pre-light draw is faint tobacco and hay. Draw is perfect.

First few draws were NOT good.

A stale, mildewy flavor. Dammit, why did this cigar have to be so big? This is at least 1 hour of punishment.

As I typed that last sentence, the flavor improved somewhat. Settled into a typical cheap Connecticut wrap bundle cigar flavor. I LOVE mild Connecticut wrap cigars, but this one so far is almost too mild. This cigar reminds me of several Finck Cigar house brands, really mild, not good and not bad but definitely not worth buying again.

About 1" in, same story. Super mild with only a tiny bit of flavor in the nose exhale. Not a bad cigar so to speak. I guess NO flavor is better than BAD flavor!

About 2" in....same old same old. This would be a good cigar for a girl, or someone who has never smoked a cigar before. This thing is milder than a Macanudo.

About halfway....WOW this cigar is BORING. And this coming from a guy who loves mild cigars! Smoking this thing is like smoking warm air. It does smell good though.

With about 2" left, I gotta toss this cigar. I'm afraid I will fall asleep while smoking it and start a fire.

Conclusion: Not a dog rocket only because it had NO flavor.
