The Crazies X Colonel E.H. Taylor Corojo

Look at that thing go. So I cheated - that is, I have 3 small humidors and one large one all filled nearly to capacity with cigars BUT, with my limited experience and the short amount of time I've acquired all of them, it happens that many aren't fully rested, and I'm having a poor time determining which ones are ready to be smoked immediately. So I've tried to stick to the cigarillos I have so these cigars can rest and become delicious. Buuuuut I love them and want to try them all. So I cheated.

However, I chose a cigar that I had no expectations of. The Colonel E.H. Taylor cigar is named after the bourbon it is crafted to pair, which I did not have on hand to do so. The Colonel is comprised of Dominican filler with a Nicaraguan binder (specifically the Jalapa region), all wrapped up in Corojo from Ecuador (instead of Honduras where Corojo usually is produced). All in all, a forgettable cigar, but not because it was bad in any way, just not outstanding in any way. Too mild to run on its own, but I can see where it would be appropriate paired with bourbon. Excellent construction, the ash held strong (picture) through more than half of the smoke. Only had to touch up twice.
