This is something new my friend at the rez. gifted me this corona 5 5/8" X 46 ring. This is some info I found about them from newhavanacigars...
7-20-4 Cigars
Kurt Kendall has revived an old, historic brand name, 7-20-4. Originally named for R.G. Sullivanâs original factory at 724 Elm Street, the brand lasted from 1875 through 1963 in Manchester.
A smooth, full-bodied cigar available in 5 sizes and featuring a blend from multiple countries.
Handmade in Honduras
Wrapper: Brazilian Mata Fina
Binder: Costa Rica
Filler: Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, Columbia
I met Kurt in Nicaragua where we were both attending a factory opening as guests of Pete Johnson. Kurt handed me a 7-20-4 cigar to smoke and I knew it would be a hit in the NHC portfolio.
My review....
Appearance: Very dark brown wrapper.Course and rough looking with small veins.Looks similar to the Conn. broadleaf maduro wrapper.
Construction: Very firm roll with no soft spots (I hope it draws well) and a pigtail cap.
Draw/Burn: Perfect draw despite the rock hard like roll. Ash color is almost white with typical characteristics.
Taste: Med. body, the smoke is complex with full flavor,wood and leather notes dominate with black pepper and a hint of cocoa. Reminds me of a spicier La Riqueza.
Conclusion: A very pleasant smoking cigar,one that I will smoke again,recommended.
