Quick Smoke: Jameson Declaration The Reason

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

This Dominican puro was originally available in only one vitola: the robusto-sized “Iniquity.” Since, two frontmarks have been added, including “The Reason” (6 x 58). It features a Habano ’98 wrapper, a criollo ’98 binder, and a profile of dark coffee and cedar. While enjoyable, and despite its good construction, I can’t fully recommend this $6 cigar because, at times, it displays an overly meaty profile that detracts from its otherwise pleasant flavor.

Verdict = Hold.
