Victor Sinclair 10th Aniversario

I V cut this one, for a change of pace more than anything else, and paired it with Bud Light. It was a warm evening on the deck.





This was a very nice looking cigar. The cello had "Victor Sinclair 10th Aniversario" printed on it, the cigar was wrapped in cedar, and it had two attractive bands. I toasted it and then finished lighting it with the cedar that it was wrapped in.

I noticed a slight nutty taste after lighting. It was very mellow to start and a good burn right away.

The first third burned very quickly and produced a lot of nice smoke with a nice mild flavor and a fairly short finish.

Nearing the last third and I had a very, very difficult time removing the band. I peeled some of the wrapper back while fighting with the band. Despite the band issue, it has been a great smoke with lots of smoke. The flavor seemed to change as this cigar progresses and the burn slowed. There was a nice little uptick in the last third and it became more of a medium strength cigar.

During the last third I did encounter a couple burn issues and it was burning a bit hotter but nothing bad. Still an enjoyable mild taste with a medium finish and medium strength.

I smoked it down to the finger burning nub. An awesome cigar that left me wanting more.
