Cigar Review for Liga Privada H99
My Review
Sweet and earthy flavors right up front, pretty good draw and smoke output. Dried fruit is the main note I'm getting at the start.
20 minutes in, having real trouble with it staying active. There is a cherry but smoke production is almost 0, have to take 5 or more slow long puffs to get smoke production back up. Difficult to do without overheating the cigar.
Used a perfect draw tool which helped the air flow, but the cigar immediately stops producing smoke if put down for more than 30 seconds. This is essentially unsmokable.
