Today's Cigar

Discuss today’s cigar – Sosa Wavell Maduro 5-Pack

Blue-busa—I am the prick from japan! please do not confuse me for the other prick (sharklvr), as you did yesterday. i am trying to tone down what i say on this site, because i wish them well…their success turns into better variety, larger quantity, and greater overall satisfaction. i would not have spoken ill of yesterday’s cigar for MANY reasons. First and foremost, like sharky, i have not had the cigar (though i was gifted one recently)…got one, have not tried it. Second, there are MANY factors as to why a cigar would not have been sold out by 8am, i would not jump to the idiotic conclusion that it is due to it “sucking”. people are busy and have not checked the site yet, people have spent to much on other cigars to risk on a mystery smoke, people are tired.
likewise, i have not had today’s cigar, but i know of many BOTL that love them, so i would not knock them. hope they sell out before the ass shows up!

The worst part about all that was, I just wanted to mess with him a little. Oh well… I haven’t had one of these sticks. I have been a sucker for the last few Sunday Samplers. I’ll probably wait to check that out. At least one thing good came from yesterday’s banter. I have decided to add a closing philosophical phrase at the end of my posts. After all, if there is something left, it sucks…..Haha LOL haha!

Sosa’s are a good smoke, regardless of the wrapper. Just for what it is worth, the “natural” is the one with Ecuadorian- Sumatra seed wrapper, while the maduro is ‘true’ Connecticut Broadleaf… the binder and filler are the same (both dominican) for both wrapper varieties. Of course, I may be wrong if this is a “redone” Sosa or some other brand/ line I don’t know of…

Whatever the case, the Sosa line (if this offering is the maduro that I’m speaking of) is a ‘lip-tingler’ spicy smoke (woodsy spices, and wood flavors, not peppery spice) with a moderately complex/ flavor-changing wood overtone and slowly increasing chocolate-n-coffee flavor. I’d call this one medium bodied, maybe on the fuller side of medium as you smoke on. I will say that the draw on the 5-pack I had previously was poor in the first 1/2 inch but changed from bad to perfect as the cigar heated up, which may be why the body/ mouth- feel/ smoke density increased as I smoked on. Enough rambling – great smoke, usually 4.90 at the local b&m.

If the mortgage bill wasn’t sitting on the desk (and my wife standing behind me, hands on hips) I’d be VERY tempted! I’ll wait till she walks away… ;)

I think I know what might be in the Sunday Sampler in a few weeks…. I can’t believe that these haven’t sold out! I want some big time, but I just can’t make myself hit the purchase button! Got to be strong…must wait for Sunday Sampler…getting weak…
