    Dutchess County Cigar Co. Barberpole (Gordo)

    [Review Preview]

    Intro:

    Picked this guy up last year around Thanksgiving at the Dutchess County Cigar Co, located in Fishkill, NY. Stopped in there to check the place out, and found out they made their own hand-rolled cigars. Loved the craftsmanship, and the closed foot and pigtail features.

    Pre-Smoke Judgement:

    First locally made hand-rolled stick for me. I'm looking forward to trying it, and hoping for another reason to go back to the shop and pick-up more of their fine looking sticks.

    •Mildish body and flavor
    •Kinda a one note flavor
    •Paired well with a cafe mocha
    •Burn was a little wonky at times, but not a major problem to me
    •Light tobacco flavor and residual
    •Hints of "habano" flavor here and there
    •The first inch had a fruit note at the end of the retrohale, but it may have been influenced by the cafe mocha

    Trial By Smoke Judgement:

    Was a good mildish kinda smoke. I'd pick up another from Dutchess County Cigar Co to support the roller, but would be much more interested in exploring other medium to fuller options, if they have em'. Can't remember price. Recommended to the bums who travel to or live near Dutchess County, NY (Poughkeepsie/Fishkill). Looking forward to my next trip up to NY, and will definitely make this a priority stop.
