Review: Macanudo Gold Label Prince Nelson

Hrm, this is a pretty mild cigar, kind of a nice change from the full bodied cigars I've been smoking recently. If I kept normal hours this would be a great smoke to put you in the modd for a good night's rest. But I have much more smoking and reviewing to do! At the moment I'm smoking this cigar, listening to Led Zeppelin, and watching the snow start to fall, a relaxing event indeed. This is a very nice smoke, long lasting, and it should be at around 7 and a half inches long, I've been smoking for about an hour now, this would also make for a great cigar to smoke while playing a nice long game of poker. Although not labeled as an after dinner cigar, it could hod it's own after a nice roast and some very flavorful gravy. OK you caught me, that's what I had for dinner. I will probably buy more of these when I get the chance, now let's start writing down some actual figures.

Nose: 7
When I smelled the wrapper it smelled a lot more mild than it actually was, it smelled so mild that I was almost afraid that it would be like smoking air, but Macanudo isn't one of the top selling brands for nothing.

Feel: 10
Very well made, not too soft but not rock hard like some cigars I've had.

Taste: 6
I gave it a pretty average rating for taste because I usually prefer a strong cigar. But I'm not saying that it tastes bad, it's still a very nice cigar.

Draw: 10
Where many a cigar has failed in the past, this cigar far surpassed my expectations.

Room Note: 10
I'm impressed with the room note, you can clearly smell the cigar without going "Holy Christ what have you been smoking, a cigar or a book of matches?" This one probably cause your better half to complain (much.)

Measurements:
7.5 inches and a ring size of 52

Until next time, happy smoking!
