    It was actually a very tasty smoke and it stayed together just fine all the way down to the nub. Ugly looking thing though..

    The wrapper isn't critical - it makes the cigar look good of course, and adds about 10-20% of the flavor, depending on the blend. Structurally, if you omit the wrapper, you do have to do a pretty thorough job with the binder. There's an economic angle as well - good wrapper leaves are way more expensive than the internal leaves, so if you want to save a few bucks...

    And for the record, just finishing an Alec Bradley White Gold that I started on the way home from the bad idea factory

    As a connoisseur of cheapies, I can't recommend this one. But as an inveterate cheapskate, I'm still planning on finishing off the ones I bought.

    That's pretty interesting stuff Bruce. I was always under the impression it was a larger part of the flavor component and there are those who preach that the wrapper holds the cigar together - specifically that the cap keeps the whole thing from unraveling. I will say that this thing was rolled very well with just that binder leaf - it burned as good as anything else I've ever smoked. Thanks for the info.

    Anyways - tonight I decided to fire this Balmoral San Pedro de Macoris that @TreySC sent me a while back. Not a bad smoke Trey - you said this was pretty good for a cheaper stick and I agree.

    No cigar until you get a par - birdie if it's a scramble !

    Glad you liked. It was like 5 bucks in the B&M I'm sure can be found cheaper online.
