Hey Now! This little mother is the La Perla Habana Rojo Perfecto. I got it in a sampler from CI. It was one of their checkout add-on specials. This guy has a nice perfecto shape with a leathery brown wrapper. Nice tight seams and a few little veins. Pre-smoke smell is full of tobacco and some spices.
Cutting and Lighting: Used a standard cutter to snip off the end and it lit up just like a perfecto should. I have to admit that torching up a perfecto is my favorite. A nice small opening that lights quickly and "perfectly" every time. First flavor are a strong tobacco, not harsh, just powerful.
Had to snap this pic of the Afghan mountains right outside of the wire. Very pretty if they weren't in this hell hole of a country.
First 1/3: Rich powerful smoke! Full bodied and strength. Again, not harsh, however. The draw is wonderful and producing a creamy smoke. The finish is pretty long and it has a pepper pop to it.
Second 1/3: Same flavor and strength, certainly full now. Same nice draw. Had a pretty long tight ash going until some outgoing fire scared the bejesus out of me and I lost it.
Final 1/3: No changes in the flavor or the strength. This stick definitely had some ass to it....in a good way.
Overall: Nice powerful gar with lots of pepper flavor to it, especially on the finish. I would give it 2 thumbs up but my hands are shaking a bit from the rush.
