Macanudo Titan 1968

Stars: 4.5
Purchased: Robert Graham - Edinburgh

Smoked: London 12/04/14
Country: Dominican Republic
Size: Petit Robusto

Notes: When I first met Señor Titan he was staring up at me lazily from within his plastic tomb - a first encounter that rarely bodes well. Little did I know, that lifeless and placid this stick was anything but. Let's start with the size - the ring gauge is fatter than anything I've ever smoked, even wider than most robustos. Don't be deceived by the length - this looks like a 40min run but it's more like a 65min short marathon through the greatest cities in human civilization. With each draw I felt I was racing through Babylon, Damascus, Athens, a quick detour through Muscat and Casablanca, and winding up somewhere along the Dutch East India Company's spice route. This is truly a cigar that you do not want to end, and thus you do not want the night to end. Thank God they didn't make just one.
