Now that the flavor has fully developed, the flavor is largely the same... with the exception of one new note which is dominating the flavor. The new note - graham crackers! This is the best example of that graham cracker note that I've ever found. There's still no real sweetness to this flavor, and I'm still enjoying the grittiness
Construction has given me some issues early in the smoke. The burn seems to be wanting to canoe down one side. So I'll keep an eye on that as I continue to smoke into the second third.

Tonight I'm casting from the new Cigars Daily Studio, which is still under construction. I'm smoking the Herrera Esteli by Drew Estate Cigars, which is part of our Father's Day Gift Guide -
Q. What's a good cigar for a beginner?
A. When you're first getting into cigars, it's so important to try new things. So in one sense new cigar smokers should smoke a little of everything. If, however, you're looking for your FIRST cigar you might think about something light bodied. Some examples would be Rocky Patel's Vintage 1999, Camacho Connecticut, Oliva Connecticut Reserve, or the Liga Zebra. And yes, you can get all of these on Cigarsdaily.com at a healthy discount.
Q. What was the first cigar you ever smoked?
A. When I was 17, I was working at a video game store, and a cop gave me a Backwoods cigar (true story). But on my 18th birthday I smoked my REAL first cigar, it was an Ashton Churchill. It was 7 inches long and it made me sick to my stomach... If you're just getting into cigars, start with something a little shorter!
Q. Do you carry ________ brand of cigars?
A. Of course, if I was able to, I'd carry everything. I'm currently growing the inventory on CigarsDaily.com. And I could really use your help to do it. If you want to see a specific brand carried on the website, just email me about it at hello@cigarsdaily.com. I actually use suggestions from everyone to decide what we'll carry. Based on people's recommendations, I'm very excited to announce that we will are going to be carrying Foundation Cigars and Atabey Cigars in the next couple of weeks.

It's simply heartbreaking to open your humidor only to learn that your cigars are totally dried out. But worry not, it IS worth bringing them back to life, and here's how you can do it.
