How did it taste?Awesome, I made it, from seeds to cigars! Here you can see my very first cigar!View attachment 46741
Also should have asked what's in it.At the moment it's still a little too wet, I'm still waiting for tomorrow.
I smoked it, the first thing I noticed was that it was a little sharper than store-bought cigars. I assume that comes from the youthful tobacco. I would classify it as medium bodied. Aromatically, it reminds me of the aromatic - sour smell I noticed during fermentation. In places the ash is white. I once read that this comes from a high potassium content of the leaves. I am really surprised, not bad at all! What I still noticed is that the smoke was relatively blue! Now I let the tobacco times rest.How did it taste?
