Blind Cigar Review: Old Henry | Toro | Score 90

“It’s a rather large stick. Solid in the hand. Light brown, leathery appearance. Wrapper has a very light sheen. Some small veins. Seams are flat and nearly invisible.” –Derek (lilninjabuddy)

“This was a good looking cigar.  The wrapper color was consistent, the veins were unintrusive and there was a little tooth for character.  On top of all that, there was a neatly applied triple cap.” –Will (Dubv23)

“I didn’t pick up much aroma outside of a faint scent of tobacco and very light spice.” –Will (Dubv23)

“The smells of chocolate and sweet tobacco overwhelm.” –Ian (Sp@rky426)

“Entering the second third, the pepper has disappeared and the primary flavor is a creamy sweetness and a light chocolate, like cooled hot cocoa, with a hint of African roast coffee. It’s actually a lot like a flavored coffee powder mix. Remember Maxwell House International Cafe Powdermix? Like that. A little bit of dry wood appears for a brief period and then disappears again. So far, the cigar has remained quite enjoyable, but fairly one dimensional. It’s not that the flavors need to be stronger per se, just more vibrant. They’re somewhat muddled or watered down.” –Derek (lilninjabuddy)

“I start getting coffee notes at the beginning of the second third.  Primarily getting it on the finish and retrohale at first, then I start getting it in the draw.  It’s a nice addition/evolution of the flavor profile.  The smoke gets richer in the second third, almost a little oily.  I’m also getting a little sweetness on the draw. Pairs well with the dry leather, coffee and spice of the finish.  Nice.” –Brian (B-daddy)

“Burn line was a bit wavy, but remained even, and never wandered. The smoking was excellent, it never got hot or harsh, and there were no other burn issues. Ash held for two inches at a time.” –Derek (lilninjabuddy)

“The burn line left was clean but waved off course frequently but only required one touch up and no relights.” –Will (Dubv23)

“Overall, a fairly mild cigar, consistent in flavor, no surprises, or changes. Mild morning cigar perhaps…” –Robert (NavyPiper)

“I enjoyed this cigar.  Some nice complexity and evolution of the flavors through the first two thirds.  Last third was good but I was hoping for even further development.  Overall a very good cigar.  Thanks for the nice Fathers’ Day smoke.” –Brian (B-daddy)

“Overall I give this stick an 89. Well constructed, great burn and very consistent. The only problem was that it was consistently unremarkable. Pleasant the whole way through, no doubt, but nothing stood out. Recommended for those who prefer light-to-medium body and flavor. If it’s inexpensive, it would make a fantastic stick to hand out to new smokers, as it’s smooth and pleasant qualities make for a subtle and gentle introduction into the world of cigars.” –Derek (lilninjabuddy)

“Overall a good cigar.  The flavors were pleasant but one dimensional.  I never had a single flavor really stand out or switch up.  But the core mesh of coffee, spice and leather was decent.  The construction complimented the flavors a lot and added to the experience with a great draw, decent burn and good smoke output. This cigar could be a great every day burner as long as the price is right and they are consistent.” –Will (Dubv23)

“Despite the bitterness picking up in second half, the cigar had a lot of potential.” –Ian (Sp@rky426)
