[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 1772434, member: 8035"] So after a bit of yard work, I decided I'd sit outside and enjoy a little bit of whiskey while smoking a cigar. I wasn't really impressed with either product, so both reviews will be short and sweet. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/im1_shutterfly_com_media_47a2da39b3127cceffb0a1008f1f00000030O2fa0ed1540bd97ee78757e725bb13c7d.jpg[/IMG] [U]Dunhill Signature Cigar[/U] This cigar was like just about every other Dunhill I've tried in that it was rather unremarkable. Dunhill's craftsmanship is ridiculously good, as I've never smoked one that had any problems with wrapper fray, uneven burn, or draw problems. On the contrary, this cigar didn't fray in the slightest, it had the straightest burn line I've ever seen, and the draw was perfect. Ample smoke seemed to just sort of boom forth on the exhale. All that being said, it was boring. It was quite smooth, but the only flavor I picked up was a dull leathery sort of flavor. I was hoping that the flavor profile would change after the first third or so, but no such luck. The cigar was truly one dimensional as it held constant for the entire smoke. I was glad it was only a robusto. [U]Ri Brand Rye Whiskey[/U] I've never had a rye whiskey before tonight so I'm trying to not generalize the whole category based on this one sample. To me, the flavor was just anemic. It was like the diet cola of bourbon. It had the same heat as bourbon but lacked that full rich flavor that I've come to love. I don't know if this is characteristic of rye whiskeys in general or if it's just this brand. If you like the sweetness of bourbon but want something that's not so "heavy" this may be the whiskey for you. [/QUOTE]
