Southern Draw 300 Manos Habano (Petite Edmundo / Robusto)

Intro:

This came from my first MAW, that @Ciro graciously passed over to me, and was fulfilled by the very generous @WNYTONY . Thanks again to both of my bums, who I consider dear pals.

Pre-Smoke Judgement:

First Southern Draw. Been interested in trying the brand, but just haven't gotten around to it. Mostly due to the B&M availability around the area, and pricepoint goals I try to strictly maintain on Cigarbid. I'm optimistic about the 300 Manos, but haven't heard much or seen a lot of 300 Manos on the forum.

1/3:

•Peppery retrohale
•Stronger than expected
•Not smooth, but has a decent roughness to it that is enjoyable
•Habano flavor is hard to discern, almost nonexistent, and the sweetness isn't there
•Bold
•Flavor wise, I cannot discern much other than a strong tobacco with a strong and kinda rough bite.
•Purist-esque

2/3:

•There's some spicyness
•Still the same as the 1/3

3/3:

•Habano flavor surfaces in the far background
•Becomes more smooth, and a little nutty

Trial By Smoke Judgement:

Overall not a bad stick. I did enjoy it on a certain level, but I think I'll pass on any future 600 Mano Habano purchases. However, I first need to smoke more Habano wrappers around this price range to really know. I can't recommend this stick at the MSRP. I think there should be a deal available due to the pricepoint vs quality. The habano is never highlighted whatsoever, or at least from what I could discern, and that's a major problem of it's a habano stick.

Thanks again to @WNYTONY for fulfilling my wish - you da man. And thanks again to @Ciro for making the wish possible - you also da man.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d719da64e2.jpg

Do you get any habano flavor outta these? If the habano had been more present, it would've been way more enjoyable.

With every habano wrapper cigar I've smoked, can remember, and enjoyed...they shared a common mellow sweetness and matcha tea esque flavor...and that's what I call the "habano flavor". There's also the very good possiblity I have no clue what I'm talking about.

Oh you probably do. I'm not one to taste dried figs or creamy white pepper - I have the taste buds of a goat. I go off the overall flavor I get and whether I'd smoke it again. My scale is excellent, great, good and nope. This is a great for me, which is fiver not box.
