Herfdog

HerfDog I smoked this cigar on the patio while enjoying a fire in the fire pit. It was a nice looking, very long, cigar and just a tad spongy. I gave it a straight cut and then a test puff. The draw was nice and open. After lighting, the cigar had a slight spice taste, and was mellow with a ton of smoke. I paired it with Wild Turkey at first and then Bud Light after I had finished the first 2 thirds.

During the last third the flavor picked up a bit more spice and got a little mushy.

The nub was fairly mushy and got a little hot and spicy and bit the the back of my throat a little. Up until that point it was a cool burning cigar.

A ton of smoke all the way down to the nub.

It had a short finish through the first 2 thirds and a  medium finished the last third.

Took about 1 and 1 half hours to smoke

From Holt's Cigars:

These mixed-filled mutts come courtesy of some friends of ours down in Nicaragua. Composed of bits of high quality Nicaraguan and Honduran wrapper clippings wrapped in a smooth Sumatra leaf, Herfdog has a consistantly smooth draw and a rich taste that is devoid of the typical short-filler bite. An easy no-brainer at less than a dollar per cigar.
