Cigar Review
NUB Habano 466
Size - 4 x 66
Wrapper – Habano
Binder – Nicaraguan
Filler – Nicaraguan
Strength – Medium to full
A rather strange looking cigar with its short length and large diameter, but well constructed overall. Unlit cigar had a slightly woody grassy aroma with the same hints on the prelight draw and a touch of yeastiness. Lighting was a bit difficult due to the large diameter; it took a bit more care to get an even light. Draw was excellent with large volumes of woody and nutty smoke with an aroma reminiscent of baking bread. Burn was good almost perfectly even with a firm ash that held for the entire length. For such a short smoke it lasted almost an hour mellowing out to a toasty flavor at the end, the very finger burning end.
Overall it was a very full bodied smoke without being overly strong. Had a great aroma and taste. I rate this cigar an easy 92.
Thanx Gene for yet another GREAT Review of this Really Fine Cigar!
Stop in and try one for yourself and I am sure you will agree with Gene, that this is Truly an Amazing Cigar!
