Kings’ Humidor Broadsword cigar
This cigar is a custom blended cigar for the Kings’ Humidor
in Sebastian, Florida.
This review is for the 56 X 6 The Broadsword cigar.
Sun Grown Nicaragua Puro
Long leaf filler
The wrapper tobacco used in this cigar is the sixth priming.
The rows of leaves on a tobacco plant are called the priming. The first
priming is the row closest to the ground; the sixth is near the top. Most fine
cigar tobacco is harvested by priming or leaf rows Workers always harvest from
the bottom of the plant up, taking two to three leaves at a time. It takes the
field workers a few days to harvest each priming. The sixth priming is picked
about two weeks after the first priming has been harvested. This allows the top
leaves to spend more time in the sun. With the removal of each priming more of the plant's
nutriments are reserved for the remaining priming. The higher priming on the
plant becomes a stronger the tobacco.For some good information on the Anatomy of a Tobacco Plant follow this link.

The Broadsword cigar has very silky and oily looking wrapper. The seams are almost completely invisible. The cigar has a nice firm feel.
The cap is constructed well as the cigars’ body.
The cap cut cleanly and the draw
was just right with out to much resistance.
The cigar toasted uniformly and the
cigar lit on the first attempt. The first puff of smoke was full of smoke and had a little pepper on the tongue with a hint of leather. The smoke
produced a rich tobacco flavor and left some oil on the middle of my tongue.
Overall the first couple of puffs were very pleasant. The cigar developed a
smooth and creamy smoke, very rich but not over powering.
The first third of the smoke lost
the pepper. The cigar continued to deliver a pleasant smoke and the oil on the
tongue increased a bit. The flavor of the cigar remained in the mouth between
each puff.
This has been a good smoke to this
point. The cigar has been burning very evenly with out any touch ups.
The second third of the smoke's profile has remained much the
same with just a little stronger flavor and slightly more oil in the
background. A very tasty cigar to this point.
The cigar has remained firm and cool. This cigar is well
crafted.
The last third of the cigar has retained its great flavor
and has been very constant in it delivery of smoke and flavor. No harshness or
odd flavors at all. The taste of oil has reduced slightly, but the smoke has
been very enjoyable. This cigar is a medium to full in flavor with a very good
after taste in the mouth. At $5.00 per stick it is a great smoke and at that
price you could afford to share this cigar with your friends. I have smoked much
more pricier cigars that had less to offer.
This cigar has had no burn issues and has had a fairly clean
burn line through ou the smoke. The construction has remained flawless and the
cigar continues to burn cool.
This is a well-designed cigar and the Kings’ Humidor should
proud in this cigar.
I will be adding this cigar to my humidor.
You should take this cigar for a spin.
Enjoy
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.
Thank you Henry and Susan for this cigar.
