815xx Henry Clay LE 2018 perfecto with thanks to jakethesnake. Another cigar I know nothing about.
Plugged right out the gate with a 1/4" clip to both ends of the perfecto. No cold draw. Cut the foot back to the shoulder, extremely tight draw.
Cut the head to the shoulder, extremely tight draw. Lit anyway. Mouth getting a workout but I'm not getting any smoke. Cut the head down to the band, it's only burning on one side of the cigar. Draw still tight. Cut the foot back an inch. One small black tunnel spot in the fresh unlit face. Relit. Same thing. This one's been in my desktop a few weeks, it crunches between my fingers, this is a construction error not mine.
Cut back the foot again now I have a 3" nub cigar. Relit. Draw is normal. Burn line even. Flavors extremely mild light cinnamon cedar spice little bite on retro but not much. The flavors are typical general/ altadis offerings. Did a quick search for these things only seem to find mentions in cigar of the month clubs I don't see any reviews to see if my experience matches others. Add this one as data to reinforce my position that the perfecto is the stupidest cigar shape. More often than not you have to remove the entire taper to smoke the damn things so what's the point in spending the time and material to make the pointy cigars?
This one sucked. Bad construction, minimal flavors. Gonna head downstairs and find something else.
