Dark Shark Cigar Review

                        
Dark Shark

Origins: Honduras
Filler: Nicaraugan
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Size: 7 x 50
Shape: Churchill
Strength: Medium
 
 Dark Shark is what they call a “House” Brand, and all that means is that companies make a deal with a manufacture to make cigars with certain tobaccos in them and at a certain price point that only they offer.
 I say do not let the Dark Shark take a bite out of you, your wallet or your taste buds… This little bastard was actually on a Un- smokeble List.
This Dominican Handmade should be handed back. It is supposed to be a mild to medium bodied cigar made from dark broadleaf maduro wrapper with a filler made up of Cuban seed tobaccos, But I call it like I taste them . . .  they are crap!
 
 What can I say about them other than I have tortured my pallet for you … save yours and ignore this taste bud predator? When you see the Dark Shark’s fin circling your catalog, website and wallet, throw some chum at it and get out of its way!
I rate this cigar 1/2 out of 10 . . . let this shark swim on by!
                      Call Quint this Shark needs to be put down!
 
 
Happy Smoking

What does one drink with a fine cigar?


With Foods you can have certain wines that complement each other, but what goes good with a cigar as far as a beverage? The answer is anything but milk and Soda!
 

 That’s right it is that simple… No milk because it coats your pallet and you do not taste the cigar and no soda because of the carbonation and sweeteners, they make the tobacco taste odd.

 We also do not recommend Moonshine…do to it flammability! Last think you need is what we call a Hillbilly roman candle! It is not that we are concerned with your well being, we just hate to see cigars go to waste.
 

However if you are looking to complement your cigar, I recommend you try a nice cup of coffee or a glass of Whiskey or a Brandy. Beer will go with it and water as well, but coffee is one of the best things to bring out the flavor of a cigar, no matter the wrapper and origin.
 
 

Hope this was interesting enough for you cigar lovers out there.
