Casa Magna - Colorado

[AK47]

Casa Magna - Colorado 5"X50 Burn Time : 1hr 10min

Wrapper : Cuban Seed Ligero

Filler : Nicaraguan Ligero and Viso

Body : Medium Strength : Light

Prelight : Got a really nice aroma of sweet chocolate and leather. Pack has a little give to it, but the construction and seams look great.

1/3 : Opens up with an ok draw, not great but I'm getting some smoke. Medium body with a long finish. The flavors are great, I'm getting something resembling sweet nuttiness. Very nice light, clean, long finish. This 1/3 gives me some cream, slight leather and is incredibly sweet. Sweetest notes I've gotten from any cigar yet I think.

2/3 : The draw opens up nicely now. Flavors are smooth, light and crisp nuttiness, and it's still sweet. Still a long finish with a medium body and absolutely no strength, which is perfect for me. Really enjoying this one at this point. It's got a perfect burn and requires no thought from me.

3/3 : It's burning quickly but perfectly. Getting same flavors from 2/3 on to the end, and pick up cream on my retrohale. I smoke this one down to the nub.

Overall : Really a great, solid smoke. Medium body but it has great, distinct flavors and completely no strength. Perfect combination for me. They go for around $6 a stick. Not a bad price really, maybe a tad high. However, if I come across a good deal for these I'll definitely pick some more up.

This brand (which I had never heard of before) was featured in my local B&M's Tuesday sales (buy 3, get 2 free). If they come up again I may have to try a couple of these! Thanks!

P.S. Wow, the newbie review contest is really heating up! Still 9 days to go!

Try some out! yes it is. June was a good month to have the contest, warm days = smoking days.
