Default Perdomo Slow-Aged Lot 826 Robusto

I got this stick in a bomb from Coz77, and I figured I'd take advantage of the (relatively) warm weather to give it a try.

Humidor time: None (in mine, anyway)

Prelight: The Connecticut natural wrapper looks nice, with a double cap. Prelight draw is nice, very mild. The band is a simple black and silver/grey.

Burn: This cigar kept developing a slightly uneven burn (possibly due to wind) that I had to touch up a few times. Ash was nice and firm. I didn't really get to see how long it held on as I kept tapping it off to touch up the burn. Draw was easy, and the burn time was just under an hour.

Flavor: This cigar was a nice change from the maduros I've been smoking lately. It had a creamy, mocha taste to it, with a very slight vanilla aftertaste.

Summary: This was a great smoke. I almost burned my fingers, and I'll be picking up more of these for my humidor.

Good mild smokes for very little money. Thanks for the review and the reminder!

So if I put in an order now for a bundle, they should be nicely rested in time for golf season...
