Benchmade by Ashton Don Pepin 85.4975

Smoked this one today, and the cigar looked nice and had high hopes for it since it was a brand I had not really heard a lot about.  However, I was very unhappy with this one.  Definitely off my future purchase list.
The outer wrapper had a very bitter taste to it that lasted for quite a while.  The burn was reasonable as would be expected of a hand made cigar.  The flavor was just not there, no good blending of leaves or anything to be detected.  I was almost like smoking bad burley.  The cigar discounters offer this because of its low price and try to talk it up for the price, around $2.60-$3.00 a stick.  It might as well be $3 a box.  Sheesh, sorry Don Pepin, try again.
Wrapper and Filler Nicaragua, Robusto 5x50, Medium to Full strength.
