The FRANK

[Sauer Grapes]

Had one tonight (a night too late), but still, had it outside, in the dark. Seemed fitting.

Overall a fine cigar. I am giong to let the rest of mine rest as I was catching a bit of ammonia throughout most of the cigar. Not as much as I got in the fresh black I smoked, but enough. Draw was a tad on the loose side of perfect, but very good none the less. Burn was pretty much right on until about an inch before the band. Required one more touch up after that about another inch down. Had to purch at the first touch up, and did a no flame purge after the second. I think it's supposed to be full bodied, but I didn't get much buzz from the Frank. I feel good though, so it had some nic punch to it. Copious amounts of smoke billow from this one.

I'm glad I was able to get a box of these, but I'm not sure they are worth the $13 price point. Of course, if you want them, that's the price and I'm not sorry I bought a box.
