What else have you been smokin' Dale?
Casa Fernandez Arsenio 2009- Robusto Grande 5.25" x 54 A Nicaraguan Puro made only from Aganorsa produced tobacco, the wrapper is the Corojo 2006 strain. MSRP is about $5.50/stick. The Arsenio is named for master blender Arsenio Ramos who works along side Paul Palmer of Casa Fernandez. The cigar is big & bold! Excellent construction and meaty, spicy earthy flavors which are right in my wheelhouse!
What else have you been smokin' Bob?
Cain "F" - Yes it is strong, but not as strong as its been advertised to be. Yet my first experience with the F is that it may have been pushed a bit too far. A well made root beer float is very sweet, however, put a couple spoons of sugar in it and you destroy the flavor by being too sweet. Thats the way I felt about the Cain F, it was Cain pushed one step too far for me and the taste just disappeared into a wash of over indulgence.
Punch Uppercut - One of the Omeatepe entries from General Cigar, I expected more spice and just more flavor overall. I had trouble keeping it lit if I stopped smoking for more than a minute. Overall good construction, pleasant flavors.
Dominicano - oh wouldn't you like to know.
