First Barber Pole ever for me. JNV Barber Pole Toro...6x50. After an extensive rest, about 50 minutes, took this one out the humidor prior to lighting, as is my usual procedure. Lit easily and smoked without any need of a relight or touch up, something I do appreciate . Lot of tobacco, the Barber Pole wrapper is in addition to being very well done an attractive eye catching feature, but it's a well crafted cigar and good tobacco. Nice even burn line. Now I di have to put the cigar for twenty two minutes, the relight got it going and it was a good smoke start to finish. Smoked on front porch on this rather cool, chilly? day. I'm no good at naming flvours. But plan on smoking the second on these soon, yup it'll not be long. for now I'd put this, at a light medium, not the slightest hint of bitterness and it certainly is an excellent value for $ cigar.
A big thanks to Omahaorange (Russ) who so very kindly sent me the Duo of the JNV barber Poles ...and a Rancho Luna Robusto...An,and a Machete, 6.5x at least 54 Ring Gauge, maybe 55 or 56, both fine looking cigars and both new to me.....I've some smoking to do in the very near future, again thanks much Russ.
Burn time: An hour and 49 minutes, no pix this time, hopefully will have one when the second of the JNV Barber Poles is smoked.
