Have I ever mentioned before that I’m a huge Kelner fan? Yeah… I am. I love The Griffin’s cigar line too.
This was actually a size I had not tried before, and I’m kicking myself for not trying this earlier.
It’s a short cigar, so it doesn’t really have time to be complex, so Kelner hits you with it from the onset.
This tiny little perfecto is deceptive. The Griffin’s line is very mild, but even though this cigar has mild strength, it had a ton of flavor.
From the get go, I am inundated with wave after wave of oaky sweet cream and a nice light coffee finish.
The burn is dead on even and the cigar’s draw is perfect giving off ample smoke.
My only complaint was that it was over too quickly. This is a good example of how a cigar can be mild in strength, but full flavored at the same time.
I will buy more of these, as I can’t wait to see this one after a couple of year’s age. Bravo!
