Default Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee

Alrighty, this is my first review- here goes!

Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee, Toro (6x50).
Connecticut wrapper, Nicaraguan and Dominican long filler
cost- about $1.75 in a sampler from cigarbid

I smoked this one about 2 weeks ago with some coffee and a book around 1100. The stick had been humi kept in the cellophane for about 2 months. I toasted the foot and dove right in, but the beginning was a little harsh and produced whitish gray smoke. About a half inch in it mellowed out, moving to the milder grey smoke that was not too thick but not thin either. The ash held for a good inch and a half to two inches throughout the life of the stick. Mild creamy flavors throughout, with woody undertones sneaking in for the last half. The coffee complemented this one well, and I smoked it down to the last inch and half in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Would I smoke it again: yes, especially at the price I got it for
Would I recommend it friends: yes, especially if they are newer to cigars

Sorry about the lack of "thirds" and pics, I didn't write down my notes right away on this one as I was pretty wrapped up in the book lol. Hope this is helpful!

It's been a couple years since I've had one but I remember it being a tasty cigar for the money.
