[Soulmanure]

Excellent review, and the only knock I'd give it is that it's created massive cigar envy.

Damn, great review Ron!

...it's so creamy and buttery that it's not burning,it's melting.

This quote alone has made me feel the need to buy one. Purely for the purposes of reviewing on my blog you understand...

[Daize]

Well after that review, I'm buying one !

I've seen Jenadys nubbers before, great little gadgets

[davidruddell]

Damn I can't PM him, would you ask if he'd be willing to make one for me?

Happy to trade or pay?

Looked at Carlito's Stogie Nubber, blimey that's a heavy bit o kit to cart around!

Love the base on yours, looks much better in wood than cast Aliminium.

[Boss Hog]

I've seen Jenadys nubbers before,

Are you sure you want to admit that?

Great review Ron and nice pictures too. I printed them all off and made a cool flick book of it being smoked. It's the closest I'm going to get to one.

Makes me want to weep into my Behike-deficient humi

Great review though, and I'm pleased you enjoyed it

I shudder to think where this flick-book's being kept!

So here is my version of the BHK 54...

Appearance is kind of obvious to nearly everyone! It would certainly be difficult to get some blood from this stick. Hardly found a vein! Hard to fathom that the wrapper is actually derived from a tobacco leaf! Just looks so unnaturally smooth, and don't get me started on its construction! Michelangelo could not construct a better cigar than this!

So... lets just get down to the smoke shall we!

1st 1/3 = Super smooth! Light peppers with this highly distinct creamy roasted chocolaty tobacco odor. There is just something about the taste, fragrance and feel of this cigar between one's lips that provides one with a sense of, dare I say joy? Excitement? A tantalising sense of bliss?

I kind of want to say that the taste is rough, and at the same time smooth!? It feels rough in the mouth, but at the same time golden on the senses!? Am I missing something? I think the best description would be a creamy smooth massage of caramel, cocoa, and milky coffee.

The aroma is something else! Like breathing through something akin to entering a luxury chocolate shop. Sweet ambrosia! A Cuban tobacco cake is probably as close as one can describe the kind of smell that you get. The smell of cookies and cream except its tobacco!

Nearing 2 inches into the stick and one feels the roughness going, replaced with a full burst of creamy sleekness in all its roasted caramel glory. The chocolate is actually there, except its not chocolate, but chocolate melted into this rich refined tobacco. Some woody tones of cedar and oak are also starting to tickle the palette.

2nd 1/3 = My tongue is feeling fully moistened and relaxed! Resembling the routine of drinking fine wine... you smell, taste and swirl the smoke in your mouth, and then release. Discharging smoke so tender on the tongue, wicked on the palette, hypnotic on the brain, wild in the nose, soft in its palpation, and wondrously addictive in all its dizzying splendour! If I had to die of smoke intoxication, I'd die a happy man!

A gentle draw, with its smooth hands enveloping the mouth. If a cigar were a fine woman, the BHK 54 would be that vixen!

Nuttiness, roast, cream, caramel, milky coffee, cedar, oak, and smooth tobacco... - sorry, where was I?

A perfect even burning draw, like watching a light show in the sky. As you take it in, you see an even spread of burn, like a ripple through its 54 gauge diameter! Some cigars have too easy a draw, while others too difficult. Ladies and gentlemen, I have finally discovered the Goldilocks of draws! This coupled with smoke so luscious, soft as feathers, yet thick and light, like water vapour drenched in snow, if such a term exists!

Final 1/3 = Buttery smooth caramel, roast, milky coffee, cedar, oak, dark chocolate, finished with a sprinkle of peppers, and lightly seasoned salt... - sorry I forgotten where I was again.

With two more inches to go, the stick is still feeling cool to the touch!? Smoke and strength intensifying as I come dangerously close to burning my fingers, yet I feel no heat!? Maybe I'm just too high right now to feel anything but pure enjoyment...

Please, you owe it to yourselves to smoke this! Buy it, and for God sake smoke it now! You'll never look at another cigar again!
