This was the first cigar that I tried from "The Miser's Collection" that I bought at Holt's yesterday.I smoked this one at Christie's bar (just outside of the ACY airport) while talking to Paul Russell outside.
It had a pretty peppery taste at first but that went away and smoothed out. Construction was not great, a little soft. And it started to burn unevenly about 1/2 way and I was unable to correct it. It became very mushy and I put it out with about an inch to go. Not a bad cheap smoke.
From Holt's cigars:
Babalu is a brand new cigar handmade in the Dominican Republic. Lovely, gingerbread colored Ecuadorian wrappers marry a rich, medium-bodied blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers. The flavors are creamy and well-balanced with a smooth, toasty finish. Wholesome notes of oak, leather and peanut butter compliment crispy hints of peppers and gravy. The Holt's Tasting Committee thinks this new cigar is a dark-horse in our stacked stable of house-brands.
