Cigar Report -- La Mission du L’Atelier 1959

Added on June 14, 2016 by C. Maoxian.

Had some difficulty lighting this one (wind played a part), but once it got going all was well. Good draw, nice even burn, consistent start to finish. This is the size smoke I like (4¾ x 52 - Robusto) and it took me exactly 52 minutes to smoke it. Darker color (Maduro) with a pigtail cap, nice looking cigar. Wrapper is Mexican San Andres, filler is Nicaraguan (Sancti Spiritus).

First third a bit harsh but then it mellowed mid smoke and became quite nice all the way to the end. Was pleasantly surprised.

Cigar Report -- Alec Bradley Sanctum Toro

Added on June 12, 2016 by C. Maoxian.

I usually smoke Robustos so this "Toro" (6 x 52) a bit larger than I'm used to ... it took me 80 minutes to smoke the Alec Bradley Sanctum Toro. Has a Honduran Corojo wrapper and the filler is a Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras blend. Handsome looking.

Good draw with nice even burn at first, but somewhere mid-smoke the draw got harder and the burn went very uneven. Draw improved a bit towards the end of the smoke, but the damage with the burn was done. I don't have any "palate" and can't describe the flavors, but it was a mild (supposedly "medium-full"), pleasant smoke. Pity about the uneven draw/burn.
