This cigar was gifted to me a couple of months ago by Bao (aka Mugen910)!!!
Length/Ring: 3 X 50 Shape: Firecracker with fuse Wrapper: Natural Strength: Full Tonight I was getting the BBQ ready and thought I needed a cigar with some flavor while I grilled some boneless ribs! I also wanted something that would not take an hour and a half to smoke! This cigar has been staring at me for weeks now! The look is captivating and a little dangerous! I love the long pigtail fuse! ![]() I cut the cap with my Palio! However, this thing was not defused!!! As soon as I toasted the shaggy foot I realized the power of this cigar! I could detect the pepper in the air! The smell blended very well with the BBQ and ribs!!! ![]() The first few puffs were very flavorful with plenty of pepper and spice! The pepper is not black pepper, but red chili pepper! Very nice and hot! ![]() ![]() After the first third the spice mellowed a little! Plenty of white aromatic smoke with each draw! The construction was very nice with no corrections needed. The draw was smooth with just enough resistance to make the experience enjoyable! ![]() At the halfway point I snorked through my nose and ended up choking! The spice was still very evident to my sinuses! Good thing I had a Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale to straighten me out!!! ![]() Due to the shortness of this cigar not a lot changed in complexity! I was either getting used to the spice or it mellowed towards the end! If spice is what you like in a cigar this is the one for you! ![]() I ended up skewering the nub and enjoying the rest of the cigar as it became too hot to hold! ![]() I finished just in time to take the ribs and potatoes off the grill! Yum!!! This was the perfect end to a great day!!! ![]() Total smoke time took 50 minutes. Construction/Appearance: 8 out of 10 (Fun shape) Flavor Balance: 8 out of 10 (Plenty of spice) Strength: Medium/Full (Flavorful without a nicotine buzz) ) Over all experience: 8 out of 10 Value: This was gifted but I wouldn't pay more than $6.00 Thank you Bao!!!

Nice review, my friend.
I found these less than exciting. Honestly, I'd rather smoke a Blue Robusto any day and as far as a spice bomb like a lot of people say, I did not get that. |

Great Review & Pics! I love all The DPG line, but my fav. is the JJ. Like Darrell, I do not detect a huge amount of pepper in any of the DPGs, but I love the smokes!
