After conducting blending sessions for the previous 3 years at the Drew Estate factory we were amped up to extend the concept to JDN. I worked with the JDN team utilizing DE tobaccos, including a San Andreas Negro Wrapper, Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade Binder and hearty Brazilian Mata Fina Filler, coupled with Nicaraguan fillers provided by JDN. The blend proved to be rich and earthy, with a bright, sweet undertone. As months of blending passed, I felt this blend was most noble in the 6\u00d760 format and began calling this cigar \u201cThe Uzi.\u201d We all had a good laugh at the name, but when I went back to their factory to pick up the round of 50 sticks, I said, \u201cDamn, My UZI\u2019s Weighs a Ton!\u201d \u2013 and the brand was officially born.<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now on to the cigar.\u00a0 The appearance of the cigar is a hefty 6&#215;60 cigar, firmly packed with no soft spots.\u00a0 The wrapper is Mexican and has a nice sheen to it and almost the color of a typical maduro wrapper with minimal veins to it.\u00a0 Simple black band with gray distressed lettering to it with \u201cXXL\u201d printed on it as well, giving it a trendy \u201cchic\u201c look.\u00a0 Prelight draw is good with a bit of a tightish draw that has some spice and hay to it.\u00a0 A clip and a light and I am on my way.<\/p>\n<p>First notes I pick up are the hay from the prelight draw with a small bit of pepper to it, likely from the Nicaraguan tobaccos contained within.\u00a0 Also picking up a hint of chocolate from the cigar as well.\u00a0 Producing a nice amount of smoke, just a hint on the side of a tight draw.\u00a0 Burning well and staying very consistent throughout the first third of the cigar and I would put it in the medium bodied\/medium strength category.\u00a0 Nice light gray marbled ash holding well beyond an inch.<\/p>\n<p>After cleaning an inch and half long ash off my lap I am now getting in to the second third of the cigar.\u00a0 The strength has gone down a touch and the flavor has stayed pretty consistent.\u00a0 The burn and draw have been great as well.\u00a0 The chocolate has subsided and there is a bit of a cedar burn to the retro hale.<\/p>\n<p>The finish was consistent with the second third, picking up a little strength and with a nice long finish to it.\u00a0 This cigar smoked for well over an hour and a half and was very enjoyable.\u00a0 Just the right amount of pepper to give it a \u201ckick\u201d with out being an overpowering cigar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\/storefront\/ListProducts.aspx?idcategory=1276\" target=\"_blank\">My Uzi Weighs A Ton<\/a>\u201d can be purchased online and at all 5 Emerson\u2019s Cigars locations in Hampton Roads or by calling us us at 1-800-842-2990 to place an order.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the latest creations from Subculture Studios and Joya de Nicaragua is the \u201cMy Uzi Weighs A Ton\u201d.\u00a0 Available in three sizes, all with a 60 ring gauge, in [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":664,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[17,22,29,93,91,92,48,94],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 -
