There is a reason for the name. I just don't think there is any potential right from the get-go. It's not horrible but not great. The cigar looks pretty nice - decent construction - a little rough and rugged but nicely done. I am not a fan of something with no banding or identification but when the purpose is to save the customer money then who can complain. This cigar comes naked and just looks average.
Very dry with some pepper. Back of throat is dry and itchy. Woody oak is the stand out flavor.
The burn is wavy at half an inch in and smoke output is medium.
The taste is conjuring up old church or barn wood imagery. Stale rasins, burnt coffee, but honestly nothing big or spectacular - but hey this cost me 2.50 and is good for that price.
Ash is light- medium grey and hanging well at 2 1/2 inches pretty cool. The burn has corrected itself. Walnut aftertaste comes in after ash drops.
This is a nice cigar to chew and hold onto with your mouth/teeth. It is not bitter at all.
As i smoke i get the image of a biker stogie - in particular there is that scene from Terminator 2 where a biker dude in a bar tries to put cigar out on his (terminator's) chest and it dosn't even phase him. This is the cigar i imagine he is smoking.
Sweet nuances come but fade to bitter. Flavor is just fairly bland and wood is too much for my taste. Getting a lot of nicotene on the other hand and there is a nicorette sort of flavor. For me i would pair this with Guiness or Killians.
No acid or burn on the lips. Smoke is heavy on my clothes. Not much of an after taste. Feel like i smoked a few cigs at the bar from the smell and taste. That's about it.
Good Smokes,
Dave
