Cheap Stick Shootout 2 Cigar Review - Part 1

Cigar Reviews review http://cigarobsession.com Cheap Stick Shootout 2 - Part 1 - Thompson Empresario Maduro Churchill vs. Perfect Cut Corona Tubos

This is the 2nd Cheap Stick Shootout today we have the Thompson Empresario Maduro Churchill vs. the Perfect Cut Corona Tubos. The Empresario comes in at 7×48, the Perfect Cut at 5.5×42. Both are a mild-medium cigar, the Empresario being a traditional long filler handmade, the Perfect Cut a machine made short filler. Draw and burn on both were very good, the Empresario being on the tight side, the Perfect cut on the loose side. Burn time was 50 min and 30 min respectively, where they both became hot for my taste and I ended them. Flavor wise they are completely different. The Empresario gave a little bit of complexity, showing a light leather with slight sweetness and touch of pepper during the first 2 thirds. The last third it switched to a very creamy coffee flavor with a long lasting finish. The Perfect cut started with a very mild grassy taste, and bringing a mild wood in the 2nd third. The last third it changed to a very hot pepper, dominating the flavors both on the draw and finish. Photography by BG Pictures.

No, I find they are of little use. They don't fix bad construction, just open a tunnel.

[cigarobsession]

No, I haven't even heard of them

[luis703487]

I've heard that wood matches enhance the flavor... is it true because ive never tried lighting one with them

[cigarobsession]

@luis703487 No, it just doesn't add any flavor like a torch can at times if it's lit too fast.

[cigarobsession]

Nope

@bamf64 Swisher Sweets arent cigars. Their shit packed into brown printer paper.

Hello, nice review. I think I will try the Empresario. What is the song in the background?

[aaronzack14]

[Kidbox45]

@cigarobsession What u think of the King Edward VII Imperial? :) I like it

[chieffy35]

where would i be able to buy the Empresario? i am from vancouver and could not find them in my local stores, is there a web site i could go to?

[NathanTBlack]

Do they even sell the "naturals" anymore?

[ZipTumbleFast]

I just can't do mild cigars anymore. They are good for beginners or whomever likes them, but for me, if given the choice between mild and not smoking at all, I lean to no cigar. I liked them years ago, but now, I need a good medium to full (no maduros though). Nice video. Good job.

Nice video bryan really helpful, I do have a question for you though! In your previous review on cheap sticks you did a side by side comparison on the Empresario and the curly head and on that review you seemed to hate the empresario comparing the taste of that similar to " spray paint". So now i''m a little bit confused, I am curently smoking the cusano 18 double connecticut wrapper and those are about 7 buck a piece, So to hear theres a cheaper cigar that is still decent to the taste is amazi

[instructorarmijo]

Since you like to give away those Empressario to novice smokers, will you send me one? :)

[ODanboy]

I would like to know what you think of the little Cafe Cream tinned cigars, so I can compare our tastes. Cigars in the uk are very expensive.
