This is, perhaps, the most interesting cigar I’ve had. Before coming here I had maybe a dozen cigars in my collection, which I or my friends liked. Now I must have close to 50 different cigars, this place has really opened up a whole new world for me.
I’m not good at describing tastes, but on the smell of the unlit cigar and the cold draw I tasted something familiar, sweet iced tea maybe? This cigar is sweeter than most. I borrow from other reviewers and I totally get the hay, caramel, orange peel, tea, and white pepper thing others describe. The reviewers who list 8 different vegetables, meats, kumquat, and Meemaw’s homemade gumbo just confuse me. And, frankly, I think some of them are full of

.
But this was fascinating to me, very different and very good! Slightly open but good draw, perfect construction and burn on this stick. I burned my fingers it was so good. Corona size, Connecticut wrapper, medium strength. Will def revisit this stick.
Charter Oak Pegnatoro, 5.5x48. About an hour smoke.

I suppose I should learn to not do this upside down.
