Foundry Wells

The Foundry Wells measures 6x50 with a nice dark brown, oily wrapper. The cigar features mixed binders and fillers, and a wrapper with a deep, sweet earth aroma. If you're wondering about the name, this cigar is named after H.G. Wells. Their other cigars are named after those involved in the Steampunk Movement: Ada Lovelace, Bryan Talbot, and Sir George Cayley. Ok, let's get this Wells lit up and start reviewing.

When you get the cigar lit up, you get a light rush of tobacco flavors. The finish is a long, deep bitter flavor, with no spice. The finish has more flavors than what you get after you take a puff. The cigar is constructed nicely. It has an even burn, a nice draw, and good smoke output.

The 2/3's point brings a little more to the flavors. Now I'm starting to get a light earth, wood flavor with a still heavy, oily finish. The cigar is medium to full strength. The stick still has a nice draw, good smoke output, but the burn is starting to get uneven at this point, nothing too severe.

3/3's to the end doesn't bring many more changes. The flavors are staying the same as the 2/3's point, and the finish is getting less heavy. This cigar is the type that has more strength than flavor. Most people are looking for more flavor than strength, and if you're one of those people, I wouldn't recommend this one.
