57 degrees, back porch, a little chilly, but a space heater for the legs.

Decided to go with some Cross Canadian for tunes to relax, kiddos are tucked away in bed.

Pre-light - nothing special, smooth tobacco smell, typically prefer a strong maduro, so this is at the other end of the spectrum.

1st third - smooth, a little weak

2nd third - still nothing complex, strictly one note, and it's soft

Last third - a little harsh finish, same one note

Overall, it's worth what I paid. Impressively, the construction was solid, it smoked evenly and easily held an inch ash, well rolled for this price. It's better than a pirates gold or other cheap cigar, but that's about it. Would recommend when enjoying as secondary distraction - on the golf course, while working in the shop, or turning wrenches in the garage.
Doesn't sound too shabby for a $1.25 knock around smoke. Nice review and good pairing.
