The return
of the king… When I started out smoking cigars eons ago, there were some big
names like Arturo Feuente, Romeo and Juliette and Cohiba, there was also Sosa.
The Sosa family had some of the smoothest and
rich cigars for affordable prices, but unfortunately back then not everyone
carried all the brand and you had to order in catalogs or like me be lucky
enough to be in Florida and stumble into one of the Sosa Family stores, I dropped
some coin that day I tell you, but I was set for quite some time for cigars while
I was down there.
And now Sosa
has reemerged with its first United States public offering, entitled simply
“Sosa”. I have only seen them listed in 2 catalogs so far, and they were listed
at a nice price of $45.00 for a bundle of 20. I expect some old timers such as
myself to find the brand and stock up with this Central American treasure.
The Size I like is the Toro size (6x52). The
cigar is a well constructed medium smoke that has Dominican and Honduran filler
with a dark maduro wrapper, with a nice ash with no flaking. The flavor is
smooth and earthy.
I hope Sosa
is making a comeback, but it’s my opinion that if they don’t get a boost buy
the brick and mortars they will fade back into the dark closet of other Brand
names that have faded into obscurity.
I have to
say I am slightly disappointed with this cigar, it was dry and then the 2nd
time I smoke one it was better humidified, but it still seemed to lack in
flavor. I hope they do better in the next Sosa offering
I rate this Cigar a 5 out of 10.
Happy
Smoking
