Cigar Review for Henry Clay War Hawk Toro
My Review
Draw is a bit tight, decent smoke output though. Getting sweet cedar. Very much of both.
8 minutes in, getting a bit of creaminess added to the flavor.
42 minutes in, about an inch from the second label (closest to the cherry) flavors have blended together very well. Some more earthiness coming through.
Overall pretty decent cigar, consistent flavor from last post. I think you'll probably get about an hour or so on this depending how fast you smoke.
