This was my first cigar ever, and having researched for well over a week, I decided on this cigar.
Having researched for a nice, mild cigar, I have only just discovered that this was infact full bodied!
Upon recieving the cigar, as a complete beginner I went about sniffing the cigar like a basset hound, to my pleasure, it smelled mildy pleasant and I felt it was going to be a good smoke.
Upon researching how to cut, light and survive the cigar, I went about smoking. The C.Gars cutter I purchased was a messy job, but the job was done and the cap was off to an appropriate degree.
The first puff of my first cigar is a moment I will seldom forget, I was instantly knocked back and whilst slightly concerned, I soldiered on through the cigar, Kinder Bueno on hand.
About 1/3rd through the cigar, I developed a nasty case of cigar sickness, however this cigar was the sort to punch you in the face whilst nursing it better. Despite being full bodied, it treated me well, burning very consistently until about halfway, which I blame on my lighting technique. The smoke was not insane by my standard, having smoked a lot of hookah, but did give off quite a nice blue tinge, which I found enjoyable.
The ash held well for about 3/4 of an inch at a time, leaving me fretting over when the bloody thing was to finally fall off, which ruined my suit trousers, again, my fault.
Overall, this was a very pleasant experience as I sat out on the trampoline, looking up at the UK skyline at 6:30pm and is certainly one I will revisit once I develop a tolerance, so I can truly enjoy what I'm sure is a very good cigar for what it's worth.
Overall, personally a 6/10 due to my lack of tolerace (again, silly me) however realistically I'm sure this is an 8/10, though I would not reccomend it for a beginner.
