So you have a bunch of people coming over for drinks and they all dabble in cigars but they are certainly no aficionados. How do you allow them to enjoy cigars with their rums, scotches, and Disaronnos without them stomping out your Ashtons, lighting your Opus X’s wrong , or cutting your Diamond Crowns too much? Simple: Thompson Cigar Co.’s Don Lugo. Coming in around $1.50 a stick, you don’t need to worry about spending a fortune for guests who don’t fully understand or appreciate the etiquette of smoking a cigar but still want to feel the privilege of smoking a premium hand rolled cigar.
•This cigar is made with a mix of short filler and Dominican Olor, a Pilato Cubano binder, and an Indonesian wrapper
•The wrapper has a little bit of vein but not enough to affect its burn which, for the most part, burns consistently even.
•The ash is light grey and dark grey striped and is dense and clings for a good couple of inches before dropping.
Your guests will enjoy the straightforward flavor coming from this cigar in the cedar flavors with very little spice and a hint of creamy cherry—which coincidentally is also the aroma the cigar produces—throughout the majority of the party. Toward the end of the cigar, when drinks are running low and the playlist is mellowing, the spice picks up just a little bit as the cherry mellows. The only poor note is that this cigars wrapper is prone to cracking and when you remove the label, the glue used often takes a small part of the wrapper with it. But again, this is for your guests who like the prestige of smoking the cigar rather than discussing the flavors and following “proper” etiquette. At the end of the party you are left with the knowledge that you were able to supply your guests with a fine cigar that was cheap enough to fill your humidor but not cringe when they stomp the cigar out with their foot…and cleaning your home.
