U. S. Troop Line Connecticut from Kioki Cigars
Ok. Here is the Connecticut Troop Cigar that Eric, with Kioki Cigars, sent to me and several others for review. So I light it up and take a couple of draws. A light green, earthy flavor. Very mild. Lots of grayish white smoke. The flavor starts to change after about a quarter into the cigar. A very mild peppery spice creeps into the mix. The burn up to this point has been very even. I remember the Maduro I reviewed last week had some burn issues. I had to continously relight the cigar. Hindsight tells me that I should have let it rest for a few days before smoking. This one, no problem. Lit right up and has burned even and steady the whole way.
Halfway in and it still has that mild, green flavor with just a touch of pepper. The draw has been perfect. I can't believe how much smoke this cigar produces. The ash has been solid through out.
Heading into the stretch with no real change in flavor. Very easy to smoke and it smokes quickly. Total smoke time is around 40 minutes.
Overall, a very mild cigar that is not too complex. This would be a nice smoke to go along with your coffee in the morning.
Once again, well done Eric.
