Strange leaf in CAO Black VR

Mark · 07-22-2009, 05:26 PM

My first cigar of the evening last night was a CAO Black VR Mural, just something light to get the evening going. I've been sitting on a box of these for a year or two now and they are smoking pretty well, but when I cut this particular stick I found something strange: one maduro (looking) leaf at the center of the filler. The leaf burned much slower than the rest of the filler/binder/wrapper and caused a pretty ridiculous cone, but I sill finished 'her off

Just thought I would share. Anyone had this happen before with a stick? Its my first time, and I was caught completely off guard.

(PS - for any hebrew speaking brethren out there, the leaf had an uncanny resemblance to a stylized waw.

That would almost certainly be the ligero leaf. Just looks a bit too tightly rolled is all. Other than the cone, did it smoke alright?

Does the Black VR have a ligero leaf? I have smoked a number of these and never seen anything like this

I'll smoke another one tonight and see if I can "reproduce the results".

i think all cigars have a ligero leaf just stronger cigars have more than milder cigars

Weird. I've smoked several of the VRs and never noticed anything like that. Those and the Brazilia are my favorites from CAO.
