This cigar in particular has been a staple in my humidor for some time.\u00c2\u00a0 Ever since this cigar came out in 2005 I have been in love with the idea of having one of my favorite TV shows of all time portrayed in a cigar.<\/p>\n

The Sopranos is one of those tv shows that was an instant classic.\u00c2\u00a0 Bringing drama and suspense from beginning to end was a feat that this program was not shy of providing.\u00c2\u00a0 Being the mafia nut that I am I could not keep my eyes off of what Tony Soprano was going to do next or what mobster was going to do something stupid and get “whacked”.<\/p>\n

The cigar that we have today is the “Associate”, the smallest vitola of the group.\u00c2\u00a0 It measures in at 5 x 52, so it is a great size for me and my time schedule.\u00c2\u00a0 The wrapper is a beautiful and oily Brazilian maduro with a few small veins.\u00c2\u00a0 Initial light up is of caramel and nuts.\u00c2\u00a0 Wow, what a great start.<\/p>\n

The first half of the cigar brought more nuts and a hint of cinnamon.\u00c2\u00a0 The caramel was floating around in there somewhere but was hard to exactly put my finger on.\u00c2\u00a0 Billows of smoke were coming out of this stick, and that allowed me to maximize my flavor experience.<\/p>\n

The second half was of more nuts and the caramel started to make a grand entrance and appeared to want to stick around this time.\u00c2\u00a0 I was glad because this is a great quality in a cigar for me.\u00c2\u00a0 The burn was razor sharp and never ran on me.\u00c2\u00a0 I was really enjoying this stick.<\/p>\n

\"cao\"<\/p>\n

The last 3rd was the best as I was experiencing a bit of spice and more caramel.\u00c2\u00a0 To me that is almost my perfect stick.\u00c2\u00a0 I really enjoy these cigars and have smoked the other vitolas as well.\u00c2\u00a0 I still haven’t decided which one i like the most because I think they are all excellent.\u00c2\u00a0 I would recommend this smoke to those who like a medium to full experience with lots of flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
