Back in early May, Phil (Insight) bombed me during the war, and in his bomb, he graciously sent me a White Owl Watermelon cigar (if you can call it that....looked more like a long cigarette). He and I were talking in the chat room one night and he told me that he's sent out about 50 of these and didn't think anyone had smoked one. So, because he was so generous in leading Cigar Draft Numero Dos, I thought I would repay him by doing a review on this cigar. Not sure how much age it has one it, but I know I've had it for 2 months now.
Here it is in all it's glory in the cello.
As you can see, meticulous care was used in making this nearly flawlessly constructed cigar
White Owl was kind enough to provide a small hole in the end where I didn't need to clip it. I bypassed toasting the end and just put a flame to it.
No prelight draw here. I took the first draw and it tasted like the wrapper had been covered with sugar it was that sweet.
There wasn't a whole lot of watermelon taste to the cigar. It had a very harsh tobacco taste without much flavor. It burned fairly well with the ash falling of at about 1 1/2 inches.
Nice white and grey ash. This cigar never varied in taste at all. Still no hint of watermelon....must all be in the wrapper. It produce a fairly good amount of smoke and drew very well. It did leave a heavy burnt tobacco taste in my mouth. ( actually a very unpleasant aftertaste which I am still experiencing.
As I got 2/3 of the way in, the smoke became very hot and damn near unbearable. As you can see I was a good sport and tried to nub this one out.
All in all, it was well constructed, drew very well, produced a good deal of smoke, but had a very unpleasant aftertaste. This cigar would go very well with a bottle of Boone's Farm from your local convenience store. Thanks Phil for this wonderful experience
.
Now, don't any of you get the bright idea of sending me anything like this, because I WILL NOT review it. :laugh: . Now Phil, you owe me a review on the Groovy Blue Tatiana I sent to you! :laugh:
