I’ve always enjoyed these small gauge cigars, however quite a few out of this box had very tight draws, some plugged. This just happened to be the last one from this box and ended up having a perfect draw. It had a light brown wrapper with no noticeable oils and somewhat coarse with a small patchwork of veins. There was a good weight in the hand and a slight give when squeezed and nice bunching in the foot. Again, once punched, the pre-draw was perfect with a sweet, mature tobacco flavor.

I lit the foot and the smoke was smooth and buttery. If I could associate a color, it would definitely be golden. The smoke itself was a light medium with only the faintest hint of spiciness. A very creamy smoke rolled forth and a taste that of sweet hay. It had burn issues from the start, and I had to do a touch up here and there with a few re-lights. A storm started to blow in and the wind really picked up, which didn’t help matters. The finish was smooth as well, and I put it down as it neared the band. A nice finish to a delightful box of delicious smokes!

Brother you are a man after my own heart. I have a box each of the 1's (2002) and 2's (2001) and I just L O V E them. They are so aromatic and flavorful and I do enjoy the small gauge - you really have to concentrate on the cigar.

Another classic Antz! I must say I am a big fan of your pictoral reviews! :thumbs: I guess I always was a little more in favor of picture books rather than the long wordy ones...

:p
