If it isn't dixieland, it isn't REAL jazz
Cigar
Unknown brand pre-embargo cuban
Appearance:
This is a FINE looking stick – especially considering its age. I think it left a puddle of oils on my coffee table
Construction:
Perfect squared cap on this robusto
Burn:
Razor’s edge consistent :thumbs:
Ash Color:
Silvery, medium density
Draw
A tad slow
Prelight Aroma
I was positive this was what it was represented to be, because I got it from a source I trust (with no labels). Regardless, the smell would have removed any doubt about its origin
Lit Aroma
Good grief that’s a lot of smoke :0 It was bellowing It didn’t smell all that spectacular, but neither did my dad when he was that age :sign:
Strength
It layed me out :0
Percentage Smoked
80
Taste
In the first inch, I was a disappointed. It was even approaching harsh. I’m glad I stuck with it
Overall
A legitimate contender against the above-average Cuban.
Recommend ?
Obviously these can’t be daily smokes since they damn sure aren’t making any more. I picked up five of them for the novelty, but I was quite pleasantly surprised. If you have one already, I recommend you smoke it. If not, it may only be worth it if you know and trust you source. It only takes a couple weeks of bad conditions along the way to ruin a 1950s Cuban. Just something to consider
