Cusano Habano LXI Sun grown

I found this a less than spectacular smoke. I would not have rated it at 91 had it been up to me. I found it a little bitter. Mine had slight issues with loose wrapper from the middle down and burned unevenly from the end to the middle even going out three times. It required active smoking throughout to keep it burning. I also found it difficult to draw. All in all it was hard to enjoy the experience of smoking this cigar, it was too much work and not relaxing. Perhaps I will try another one day to make certain that these problems are no fluke.

Alec Bradley Trilogy Exotic Maduro.

      

 Wow! I really liked this high quality smoke! I keep coming back to the Alec Bradley's. They are so hard to beat. This is my first trilogy and I would put it second only to the Special Cabinet Reserve, though I have yet to try all of them. Rated at 88 it still fit my tastes very well. The heavy, oily smoke coated my mouth very nicely and the nutty flavor was divine, smoothing to butter toward the end and even the aftertaste was pleasant, a rare feat in my opinion. Technical information can of course be found elsewhere online. I am only writing of my own taste here.
