On my drive home from work, I finally set this bad boy ablaze.
I had high expectations.
The pre-light draw had floral hints.
The burn started perfectly even, and the ash was strong and bright white.
I got that typical VSG flavor...
Then, after the first inch, things got crazy.
The cigar swelled slightly, and the wrapper split.
The burn got uneven, the ash messy.
I stopped and got a coke and some gas.
Didn't need a re-light, I just puffed away and she lit right back up...but never really acted like a cigar that cost as much as this one did.
I smoked it down to the last inch.
The Wiz was missing that little something that I like from VSG's. It has the right amount of strength, but the flavors seemed muted. I'm not going to buy any more of this vitola.
To be fair, I'm not a huge fan of sun grown wrappers as a whole, but every so often they hit the spot. This wasn't one of those times.
Oh well, there's always tomorrow!
