CAO Eileen’s dream

It comes in a nice little tubo and that is probably the only positive I can say about this cigar. It is wrapped in cellophane inside the tubo. The aroma is a weird sweet coffee smell. The difference between the White Owl’s, Phillies, Hookah’s and Swissers is that this cigar needs to be cut.


The flavor is chemical, chemical sugar, and that is it. A nasty sweetness which makes me cough a lot.


The burn is close to perfect and there is plenty of smoke coming from this nasty stick.

 

Would I buy this cigar again? Hell no!

Game

This is another cigar in the ‘Volt flavored cigar review series’. A green cigar called “Game” and the text “slow burning” on the cigar band. The wrapper is green, and has veins all over. The cigar is 6 ¼ inch long and has a 44 ring. The aroma is liquorice.



The construction isn’t that good, the tobacco drops from the foot. The predraw is good and the flavor reminds me of liquorice allsorts. After lighting I can actually taste a chemical liquorice allsorts but not really overpowering.


The smoke is good, the ash is light and firm. The draw is just fine.


Would I buy this cigar again? No way!

Phillies chocolate

This is another flavored cigar that was send to me by an American friend as a joke, he already relieved me from my duties to review it, but I gave him my word and what am I if my word isn’t good enough anymore? The other reviews are http://cigarblog.blog.com/4227708/ http://cigarblog.blog.com/4115538/ and http://cigarblog.blog.com/4381938/

 

This is a 5 inch ring 41 cigar with a dark wrapper, nice and clean, but it’s no real tobacco. The wrapper is tobacco paper. There is a little hole in the back so you don’t need to cut the cigar. The aroma is sweet and not recognizable.


At the predraw I could actually taste some chocolate, but a cheap, bad, chemical chocolate while I like the high quality dark chocolate. After lighting the cigar the chocolate flavor disappears and it’s just a chemical sweetness.

The tobacco paper leaves a strange ash, but the draw, smoke and burn are good. This isn’t a good cigar, no way, but it is not as worse as the Lars Tetens Gorillafinger or the Phillies Peach and White Owl pineapple I smoked before.

 

Would I buy this cigar again? A simple NO is the answer to this question.
