This was my first time with this girthy Blind Faith… it was in the discount bin, so I figured “Why Not?”… I’m not one to normally smoke these large gauge “Mouth-Stretchers” but I’m glad I stuck this one out with this Blind Faith by Alec & Bradley Cigars. I was a little surprised at the cold draw tobacco flavors and the particular chai tea flavors that I detected right away…

Through an open draw from this 60-gauge behemoth, smooth creamy smoke of earthy cocoa, leather, and coffee come to me… I don’t know how long I can hang with this mouth stretcher; it feels like my mouth is going to cramp up.

At the halfway point, the draw remains impressive delivering creamy coffee, cocoa, and leather tobacco flavors with some minerals flavor on the finish. The retrohale is of a mild black pepper that I find pleasing.

Well, overall, I had a good time with this “different” for me cigar. I think this would be a great companion while watching some sporting event or BSing with the Fellas. I have another one in the TupperDor, so I look forward to the next time.

Smoke Time: 2-1/2 Hours.
