Victor Sinclair Bohemian Black Big Sur

Just had to try a few of these 'novelty' cigars. After having tried to smoke three of them, I can safely say I'll not be buying anymore. Though the appearance was good, the actual smoking experience was not. I experienced difficulty lighting (and keeping lit). The burn on my three was uneven, with two of them experiencing severe tunneling. Flavor-wise, I would rate this as a mild-medium. In the same category, I would much rather have a 5 Vegas or CAO Black (a solid medium). None of the three was burned to completion, so I can't comment on the finish. Very disappointing.

This big dog was anything but a dog. I hardly ever go for gauges over 50, and this one was waaaaay over 50. I was kind of put off by it at first, until I lit it up. I cannot believe that a cigar this size would burn so evenly! It was cool seeing the ash in the try looking like coasters. The flavor was pretty mild as well with a hint of cinnimon...I think....something rather sweet seemed to pop up here and there.

Overall, this is a nice stogie, just set aside 2 hours to get through it.

I bought this cigar at the recommendation of clerk at the cigar shop. The first thing that struck me was the size of this bugger. It was a true monter. When I arrived home I immediately lit this puppy up and headed outside to read the paper on my porch. I was expecting a strong, fully bodied taste but what I got was something that was medium bodied. It was an absolutley fabulous smoke. It burned smoothly and the draw was perfect. I've smoked a lot of cigars in my life so far and the Victor Sinclair was one of the top 5 cigars I have ever had. It's a must for anyone who loves cigars. The only complaint I have with Victor Sinclair is that this cigar is hard to find. I've only found it at one cigar shop in my area. Give this cigar a try, you will not be disappointed.
