Growing too fast.
It’s a beautiful afternoon. I recently purchased one of those fire pits and had gotten some marshmallows, Hershey bars, and graham crackers to fix up some smores, so decided to build a fire and have at it. I figured if I was going to build a fire, I’d grab a cigar to smoke as well. I grabbed a My Father Le Bijou Churchill (thank you Israel) and headed out to get a fire going, not just in the fire pit.
I pulled the cello off the cigar and unfortunately found that the wrapper had severe cracks throughout. No matter as I still planned to smoke it. The wrapper was a very dark brown with noticeable oils and one prominent vein running the length. I didn’t dare squeeze it due to the cracks already there, however it had a good weight to it, and with the cap punched I found a perfect draw with a rich tobacco taste.
After getting wood stacked nicely on top of some fat lighter, I started up the wood and had it blazing in no time. Shortly after I put fire to the cigar as well and after a few puffs, took a long draw to get a medium pepper spice on the tongue and throat. The smoke itself was a medium strength with rich flavors right from the start. Sweet, dark cocoa, a smidgen of vanilla, worn leather and cedar wood all mingled together tasting delicious.
Even with the wrapper split all to Hell, the burn was still sharp with a medium to light gray ash forming that held strong until tapped off. Pepper spice continued to come through in the medium strength smoke, hitting the palate just right. Smoke flowed effortlessly through the perfect draw with the flavors continuing to be rich, a lasting finish left on the palate.
Halfway through and into the final third, the cigar had a sharp burn with the medium strength smoke flowing perfectly, pepper spice still hitting the tongue and throat. Flavors were consistent with worn leather and cocoa being most prominent and very delicious. Exhaling slowly through the mouth and nose, there was a fantastic finish left on the palate and very lasting. I very much enjoyed this cigar, much more so than the regular My Father line. Many thanks again Israel for an excellent smoke!
Smores time!!
