Don Chuchu Sumatra

As a kid, did you ever roll up a handful of potpourri in leftover cardboard from a roll of toilet paper and try to smoke it? Me neither, but I bet it tasted just like this Dominican Don Chuchu cigar.

The heavy floral and amaretto tastes seemed like they were sprayed into this "tobacco" as heavy as they laid in the air. No, it just didnt taste right. The draw was really poor as well, like trying to pull boba through a normal sized straw.

This stick has no excuses either. It's been resting for months in a well maintained humidor.

This Chuchu pulls into the station with a 1.3 our of 5. I couldnt finish it which drops it to the 1-2 range, but it didnt make me sick, which is why I gave it the bonus 0.3 pts. Move on folks, nothing to see here.

    Cigar Reviews, Recalibrated

    Whats this?

    I decided to archive my own reviews online as I find 90% of all cigar reviews to be as useful as a bottle of Jack at a Mormon wedding.

    I smoke to enjoy the cigar, not to appease a nicotine monkey. I smoke 3-4 cigars a week and usually only one a day. So, if you are like me, maybe you'll get something out of this page.
