A new cigar flavor for my palate

| I smoked a Cohiba Siglio III on a recent fishing trip. A friend of mine gave me the cigar as a thank you for buying him dinner on a recent visit. He really hyped the cigar, telling me that his rich, lawyer friend smuggles them in from France and that they are like an $80 smoke. The price is not accurate, unless you take airplane gas into account.
Naturally, I waited for a special occasion to smoke it – I wanted to remember it (on a fishing trip on a great day, was perfect, even though the fishing was lousy). I really enjoyed the cigar, the best part of it was that it had a nice oily shell and soft tobacco bite to it. In fact, it has got me into the terrible habit of chewing the cigars I smoke now a days a bit. But I think that this behavior is consistant with a seasoned cigar smoker – as I have seen many an old cigar smoker with a mauled cigar that is not even lit. Sometimes the cigars look like they are smoking the wrong end of an exploding cigar. The cigar did have a harder draw than I normally would like. Since then, I have noticed that every once in awhile a cigar will have an oily wrapper in its description. I know I have lost many of my cigar smoking readers, because I have been ignoring the subject [and the blog for that matter]. But if there are any lingerers out there, I would appreciate some suggestions/comments on this oily characteristic – I would sincerely appreciate it. More analysis to come. |
