Three free BluntVille Cigars. I was surprised to see that there was no review for the pinnacle of fine cigars on this website. I might even say I was disappointed. However, now is a great chance for you guys to try out these wonderful cigars and put some great, encouraging reviews up.
They make "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" brand, which appears to be a serious cigar. The BluntVilles look like candied entry-level cigars for young men. They sell roll-your-own cigars, which is intriguing, even though the filler is loose and candied. I'd buy that for fun.
There are two kinds of candied cigars, as I call them. Drew makes natural ones with first rate whole leaf tobacco and herbs and spices. I'm not really into flavored cigars, but I have to respect their devotion to quality. The artificial ones aren't even really flavored, they're scented. If you try to taste the tobacco, you can taste the bitter chemicals, but not the the flavor that the artificial scent purports to represent. I refer to those chemicals as room deodorizers splashed on cheap, shredded tobacco and then machine made. BluntVilles look more inviting than, say Grape White Owls, and I would try one if offered, but I seriously doubt it can compare with a serious cigar, which is cured, aged, hand rolled with whole leaf throughout, and then aged some more.
But I'm a biased old man. Paradoxically, I'm also a pipe smoker, and what I put in my pipe is shredded and sometimes flavored. I don't taste the tobacco with my tongue, though, and the smoke hits the mouth with a ferocity cigars can't match, creating completely different conditions, not all of which are appreciated by the human tongue.
Unflavored tobacco is like black coffee. It's for folks who love the substance and don't need additives to make it palatable. Paradoxically again, I prefer my coffee with loads of heavy cream and artificial sweetener (Atkins Diet), but at least I never drink flavored coffee, ie vanilla, not that there's anything wrong with it, as Seinfeld would say.
None of my rantings are designed to question your choice of cigars for yourself, as taste always varies.
Why don't you become the first to review these cigars?
