Daylight savings began today which means I can enjoy a cigar
while enjoying more of the sun's light as I smoke. This evening I will give it a
try to celebrate.
A very good friend of mine is a huge fan of this cigar and
handed this one over to me to review. I smoked one before because of his
generosity but was in a small room of other cigar smokers and wasn’t reviewing at the time. I
remember it being a good smoke but let’s see how it is now.
I sit in my usual place by the Jacuzzi and set up my event.
This evening I will be drinking homemade Starbucks Italian Roast ice coffee. I
like to put any leftover brewed coffee from the pot from the morning into the refrigerator and
use it as ice coffee. I chose Pandora with my Hurricane Smith station as my
music of the night.
The first taste is of roasted nuts and the smoke is a full
creamy smoke swirling around. As I smoke on I taste hints of wood, ginger and
clove, a very interesting array of notes. The burn is even with a strong black
edge and warm orange glow inside.
The grey and black spotted ash is
holding strong into the second third. I taste a blend of leather piquant mixed with a mild pepper
and the burn remains even. The smoke is still kicking on full and thick.
The ash falls at the halfway point, about 4 inches in. I
find that to be very cool.
The last third and I taste raisin, nuts, and pepper. Once I
tasted salt on the back of my throat. I smoke this stick until I can’t smoke it
anymore. It never had to be touched up or relighted and the burn remained even
throughout.
This is a very fine, enjoyable cigar and thanks to my friend or I would
have never got the chance to smoke one. I have never seen it in any of the
cigar shops I visit. Here is a link to their website. http://garohabano.com/centum-by-garo-fine-cigars.asp - March 10, 2013
