50's Garcia&Vega Washingtons Habana Tubo(FCARW)

[teamrandr]

  What an incredible time to be alive. I think the 1950s would have been incredible as well. Just think they actually had Federal customs officials who would sit in the Cigar factory and clear the Havana tobacco. The tobacco was not taxed until the cigars were rolled. This government system ensured that Havana cigars were of guaranteed origin. Before me is a beautiful claro wrapped clear Havana cigar. The American market was almost always claro selected. Prior to the Revolution Cuba sent certain types of tobacco out to different regions. The American market was mild Havana tobacco. I once read that Cuban farms would send the best wrapper leaf to the US. Such a fascinating time in history. Let's put this to rest and review for the FOH
1/3.
  Smooth mild Havana tobacco up front. Americans liked their cigars mild in these days. There is a light sweetness that is there. Probably the claro wrapper. A nice floral herbal bouquet is emerging now as it approaches the 2nd 3rd.

2/3.
  Retrohale has been smooth and highlights a nice graham flavor. This cigar is mellow no doubt. Slight notes of cinnamon mix well with the core floral tobacco flavor. It is hard to find a fault in this old cigar. Again the American market demanded mild Havana tobacco. As it approaches half way the flavor picks up. Of course the smoke is mild and light in body. Retrohale is absolutely necessary here.

Halfway
  The smoke has taken on a bit of a grassy flavor. Hard to believe how much the claro wrapper is playing a part here. I wouldn't necessarily describe this smoke as complex. There are a few different flavors happening though. A nice coffe note has arrived. So to sum up the first half it started fully floral/herbal and has now gone towards a grassy coffe flavor.

Final 3rd.
  Beautiful mellow smoke. The cigar has required a few touch ups. The smoke is just outstanding. Super smooth and the coffee is really coming through now. This is met with a certain creaminess to it. I should note that the draws throughout the entire stick were perfect.
I take this down to the nub and it has turned into a delightful creamy coffe sweet smoke.

Score: I won't even give it one. There were certainly flaws in the overall experience. A beautiful aged stick from yesteryear.
  I barely spoke about the album. The Many Faces of Oliver Hart. It was done by an artist named Micheal Larson. He passed away in 2010 from an opioid overdose. He had such a beautiful personality. It is a shame he left this world so soon. Any hip hop fans will really appreciate his talent. Arguably one of the best improv freestyle artists to date.
