Affinity Cigar

 The cigar smoked for this review was a Toro 6” by 54 ring-gauge

The light brown wrapper with the tight seams makes this a very pleasant looking cigar.

The Affinity Cigar is extremely well designed. This cigar  is firm to the touch, has a great cap and the overall construction is flawless.

The cap cut with out any effort and had no lose tobacco or ragged edges. The exposed tobacco looked like it had been packed accurately. The pre-lit draw was good, not to much resistance.

The aroma of this pre-lit cigar had a pleasing tobacco scent. The foot toasted freely and properly. The Affinity Cigar lit on the very first attempt.

The first few puff of this cigar has some sweetness, cedar, nut flavors and the cigar produced a lot of smoke.

The smoke also deposited some tasty oil on my tongue, a very pleasing combination of flavors. This cigar is a mild smoke to this point, however the flavors mingled well together to make an enjoyable smoke.

A nice selection of tobaccos was working well together. The first third developed a little pepper and the sweetness has dropped off. The cedar, nut, and pepper had a well-balanced flavor arrangement.

The second third continued with the same group of balanced flavor, but the strength has increased to a medium cigar. The cigar’s construction has remained intact and the cigar has burned evenly and did not require any touch ups to the burn line. So far this has been a very satisfying smoking experience. I am very happy that Trevor McKnight of the Smoke Inn Vero beach gave me this cigar to review, the please was all mine.

Thank you Trevor.

The last third of the Affinity Cigar continued to produce the same cedar, pepper, and nut flavors. A little sweetness has creped back into the flavor profile. This cigar has a very pleasing taste. This would be a good cigar for the novice as well as the experienced cigar smoker The Affinity Cigar delivers great and enjoyable smoke. This cigar would be pleasing to all cigar enthusiasts. I’ll be smoking this cigar often and you will find this cigar in my humidor.

Once again another fine cigar has been reduced to ashes.

Thanks again Trevor McKnight of the Smoke Inn Vero beach for this great cigar.

Enjoy.

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.
