REVIEW: Butera Royal Vintage

[Rev. Zack]

Butera Royal Vintage Churchill
7.5x48
Wrapper: Conn.
Binder: Indo.
Filler: Dom. Rep.

I've had this cigar for about 4 years, and completely forgot about it in the
bottom of the humidor. Initial impression was it had a nice light smooth
wrapper and smelled like light tobacco. The first 3 puffs were slightly
peppery, with a progressively harder draw. Its all downhill from there.

From puff 4 on, the draw remained hard. the flavor went straight into the
toilet. I've never smoked or eaten shit, from any animal, but I'm sure
thats what this thing was made of. Pure dog rocket. It left a slightly
sour, putrid flavor. it never got better from there. Because I'm cheap I
had to press on, and smoked it down to the last 1/3rd.

By golly, that's what I like -- a man so cheap he says, "Don't care if it
tastes like ass. I want nicotine, and I'm gonna get it!"

My 15 y/o son's favorite latest expression is "tastes like ass". I look at
him with wonder while laughing inside....

One of my co-workers uses the expression. She nearly killed me today -- we
were out in the smoker's jail when she started talking about how Big Red
chewing gum tasted like ass. All of us standing there agreed with her. Then
she (a PhD candidate) said, "Did you know that if you lick the wrapper and
stick it to your forehead it burns?"
I lost it. Started howling, laughing, pounding the ground. She said,
"What?", and I replied, "I need to know the thought process that goes into
this. Let's see... tastes like ass... nice wrapper, though. Wonder what
happens if I lick it and stick it on my head?"

WOW ! This is honestly the first pan of a Butera that I have ever
read. Some say "not worth the money", others "not my cup of tea", and
very often "too mild for me". The entire line is one of my very
favorites. I've been through at least 3 boxes of the Fume Dolce this
year as a morning smoke with coffee, and a box each of the Bravo
Corto, Mira Bella, and Capo Grande (the churchill you smoked). I even
responded to Mickey's request for opinions on "creamiest" with Butera
as one of three. I guess that's what makes tastes different :)

If you think that there is a possibility that you got one that had
been abused at some point (or peed on :), and would like to try
another, shoot me your mailing address. I'd be happy to send a couple
of the other sizes if you'd like to take a second visit.

I just recently received a box of BRV Cedro Finos from my dad. (TY Dad!) They
have all been very consistantly great so far, and I'm going through the box
faster than I want 'cause they are so damn tastey. (Especially as Hutch sez "In
the morning with coffee")

I think they now have placed themselves in my top 5 fave list.

You'd be well trained to tolerate that if you've been eating the
Baroness' meat loaf.
