Didn't light it particularly well despite the still night, but it was forgiving. 5 1/8 x 52 -- Robusto, this is the size and shape I prefer to smoke. Good draw, even burn. Bit harsh at first but quickly became mellow, very nice, very pleasant.

Then about two-thirds of the way through an odd thing happened. The ash grew so long that it actually put the cigar out and I had to relight it! This has never happened to me before.

Took me 75 minutes to finish it, which is much longer than I usually take for a cigar of this size. It has an Ecuadoran Habano wrapper with the binder/filler from the Dominican Republic. Never heard of "Boutique Blends" before, but this is a special cigar.
