Tasting Notes
I've had a couple of these and have had mixed tastings. This one wasn't bad. It's a big stick with an even bigger taste. The draw was smooth and it remained lit as we walked (Leslie and Amber) from Nob Hill down to Fisherman's Wharf and then along the shoreline to the Ferry Building at the Embarcadero. A beautiful sunny and cold day with a light breeze that increased the chill. Once again, I'm not overly impressed by this cigar. Perhaps it's the gauge size or the wrapper, which appears somewhat stiff, whatever it is, the pure physical size of this monster may not make the most flavorful experiences.
Once at the Ferry Building I let the cigar smolder out while I had a great hot dog from "Let's Be Frank". Picked up some mushrooms and salads from Delicia (Japanese Deli) for dinner and started the long walk back through Chinatown. Re-lit the cigar after I exited the building.... a big mistake. It took another 10 minutes to get back to a point where the taste was good. All-in-all, a great walk with a good smoke and with my two favorite girls!Score: 86

After a harsh day at work, I must need some thing to get relief from tension. Which, obviously I get from cohiba . A great sensation. Absolutely affordable. And on the top of a 10 story building with hot dog, It's out of this world
