Well I decided to go down to the store and have one of these today.
I did an experiment and just punched the end. Yes I punched it straight on, then came in from the top and bottom to complete the hole. I figured what the hell cos I'm a punch guy, and if I screwed it up I could just cut it. I didn't do the thing where you punch just the top edge.
It worked and I got a good light.
Well the flavor is hard to describe. No real flavor I could pick out except strong tobacco flavor. Like smoking a really pure, strong cigarette.
The burn was quite uneven and slow. Probably cos I smoked it right out of the shop's humidor. ??? How can people stand that? Had to re-light a few times.
Draw was OK. Probably don't want a huge draw on a cigar this strong.
The nicotine buzz really had me loopy, which is cool. Again if the cigar was dryer I could've taken more time with it and not had to puff too often to keep it lit.
Overall a decent smoke. I'm gonna have to try one that has been stored properly before I render an accurate judgement.
