So, I've had a few different Curivari cigars now, and while I've enjoyed them, they (for me) haven't been anything all that special. Good, just not amazing.
As recommended, I paired my El Gran Rey with coffee. I clipped it with my Xikar guillotine, and toasted the foot. It lit up quite easily, without me needing to puff, check, blow, torch, etc..
1/3: Thick, creamy smoke right off the bat. Nice! I pick up toasted walnuts.
2/3: The draw has been nice and easy. Flavors of mellow, aged tobacco. It certainly is good with a strong cup of black coffee.
3/3: Starting the final third, there's some slight bitterness. I chose to purge, and that seemed to do the trick. I'm still getting nice clouds of thick smoke. Some spice has been introduced. Also now present is a little Vitamin N (nicotine).
Aside from the purging activity, I didn't need to touch up the cigar at all. It burned well. Decent smoke.
