VODCast: Which Presidents Smoked Cigars?
This week on The Cigar Authority LIVE from the Toscano Cigar Sound Stage… Monday is Presidents Day and although we do not like to get into Politics on the show… you might be amazed at which President smoked cigars and which did not, and what does it mean? We will be joined by Jim Price from CLE as we smoke the Eiroa First 20 in the first hour.
In the second hour of the cigar we have heard from countless individuals who want to be a cigar rep, but many do not know what this entails. It’s not a walk in the park and we will talk to Jim about the day in the life of a cigar rep.
Size: 11/18
The Look: It apropos that this cigar was released a week before Christmas with its red and green tissue paper giving it a holiday feel. Packaged in 25 count boxes the box pressed 11/18 has a milk chocolate color wrapper with a subtle brindle effect. The red and green band gives the cigar even more of a holiday feel to it but surprisingly there is no mention of the 25th Anniversary on it.
The Notes: The cold draw serves up notes of peanuts from the shell with the skin still on and nuances of cedar the latter being strong on the aroma of the foot. Once the cigar is lit the cigar starts off with notes of nuts before being joined by warm chocolate. As the first third comes to a close cedar becomes the dominant flavor profile with a smooth mocha retrohale.
