I felt like a little something different yesterday so I reached into my non-Cuban humi and grabbed a Headley Grange. I picked up a few of these on their initial release but had yet to try one. It’s a great looking cigar. The wrapper is a medium shade of brown and looks very well constructed. There’s a great looking band on this cigar as well.<\/p>\n

There is a fair bit of sweetness present on the wrapper. I give it a punch and a cold draw. I detect a little bit of a floral taste on the cold draw.<\/p>\n

I fire it up and take a few long draws. The flavours in the early stages are quite muted – I’m really not picking up much of anything. The burn starts off well and stays that way throughout the smoke.<\/p>\n

The body on this cigar is medium and the strength low. This cigar has rested in my humidor for a couple years so that could have something to do with the low strength.<\/p>\n

As I make my way through the smoke the body builds closer to full and leaves an oily, full mouthfeel. It is also putting off tons of smoke.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, as I make my way through this cigar I find the flavour profile to be very one dimensional. There is lots of natural tobacco and cedar present but not much else. There is a slighty “ashy” finish on some draws which is not very appealing.<\/p>\n

There were no re-lights required with this smoke. I left it at rest for several minutes at times and it did not go out. A great smoke for the golf course maybe?<\/p>\n
