[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 2706127, member: 8035"] Seeing as it was the last gorgeous day we're going to have for a little while, I decided to head home early, throw some meat on the grill, and smoke a cigar while sipping a bourbon and coke. Today's stogie for review is the Obsidian White Noise in 6.5 x 54 Size: 6.5 x 54 Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano. This wrapper was kind of a reddish gold and was very veiny. While it's not advertised as a sun grown wrapper, I suspect that it might be due to the thickness, pronounced veins, and oiliness. Cold Draw: There's very little flavor on the cold draw. It's hard to explain...maybe a slight grassy flavor with a little bit of a cherry sweetness. Flavor: This one was kind of peculiar. For the first fifteen minutes or so, the only flavor I could pick out was an earthiness with a very faint sweetness that was backed up with a spicy pepper flavor. Honestly, I wonder if it wasn't because of the large ring gauge. After it heated up a little, the pepper backed off and there was a very pleasant blend of cedar, cream, and sweetness. Body: I read a review about this one that claimed the stick was medium to full bodied, but that wasn't my impression at all. IMO, it was mild to medium. Strength: This one is probably what most would classify as "just right." There's just enough nicotine kick to enhance a whiskey buzz, but not enough to rise to the level of a kick to the junk. Draw: For me, the draw was just on the firm side of perfect. Again, I prefer a loose draw, so most people would probably think the draw was just right as well. Burn: Not bad. Not bad at all. While the burn line wasn't razor sharp, it wasn't nearly as wavy as the Rocky cigars I've tried lately. Smoke production: This stick produces a decent amount of thin white smoke. It's not a smoke bomb by any means, but that's ok. Smoke Time: I was a little surprised that I only got an hour and fifteen minutes out of this big of a stick. That being said, it didn't seem to have much heft so it may have been fairly loosely rolled. Being as it is a very cheap stick, that may be something to be expected. Overall Impression: The white noise is a pleasant surprise. I picked it up with my last big order from Cbid and only gave $2 for it. Given the extremely low price point, I had very low expectations for it. I've been on a "try something new" kick for my last few cigars and I'm glad I picked this one up. It's not on my short list by any means, but for the money it's surprisingly good. [/QUOTE]
