Kiki Momo Connecticut lonsdale.

I'm in a cigar group on Facebook, and in between all the Chads flexing their watches and Cohibas, the noobs asking noob questions, and the scammers selling fake CCs, there were a lot of rave reviews of a new cigar company called Kiki Momo. So I figured I'd give 'em a shot. Ordered a few fivers, one of which were these CT wrap lonsdales. I gotta be honest, I am not a fan of Kiki so far. One of the 5 packs were rolled so tight that when I screwed the PerfecDraw in, the cigars popped open like a can of biscuits. All of them. Another was a 5 pack of obviously enhanced maduros that I'm probably not even gonna smoke.

Then we come to these CT wrap lonsdales, and I'm honestly amazed at how good this cigar is. I wasn't expecting much, but this is a nice smoke. Mild but lots of flavor, really good burn. Nothing groundbreaking in the flavor department. I mean there's only so much you can do with a blend like this. But a damn good mild cigar.

Will I buy any more? Nope.

Smoking another Siboney Reserve lonsdale from Aganorsa.

Is it possible for a cigar to smell better than it tastes? I mean, this cigar tastes great, but the aroma coming from the foot of this thing is absolutely amazing. Not only would your wife NOT complain about the smell of these things, she would probably tell you that it smells OK! No BS!

All jokes aside, solid smoke. This is the only size I've tried, because I decided I was sick of 50+ ring gauge cigars. This specific cigar has been nekkid in the humi for at least a year. Decent burn, a couple of corrections required. Full side of medium "strength." Starts off a bit woodsy, then pretty typical Nicaraguan spice flavors. No major flavor changes except the transition from wood to spice.

No ammonia, even at the nub, which I feel like I should make a point of saying.
