Cigar.com’s April Cigar of the Month Shipment Looks Good
This month’s shipment from Cigar.com’s COMC provides some real promise.
The “featured” cigar is the Tatuaje Havana VI, Nobles (5″ x 50). It’s a Nicaragua puro, as are a number of my favorite cigars.
The “recommended” cigars are a Nub Habano, 466 (4″ x 66) and a Rocky Patel Fusion, Torpedo (6.2″ x 52). I’ve been wanting to try a Nub. Seems like a great concept; huge ring size to provide some immediate intensity with a short length for times when you don’t have an hour for a smoke. The RP uses two premium wrappers – a Habano wrapped around an Ecuadorian Connecticut – with Nicaraguan, Honduran and Cameroon fillers. Should be good.
Finally, the two “everyday” cigars are a Gurkha Sherpa, Toro (6″ x 50) and a CAO Gold, Robusto (5″ x 50). The Sherpa actually bears the name K. Hansotia & Company; made by Gurkha as a so-called premium cigar. I did a quick check and they go for around $2 a stick, so it doesn’t sound very premium. Still, it smells great so I’ll approach with an open mind. I’ve had the CAO Gold before, and that is aptly described as a good, everyday smoke.
