Construction

Price is not always associated with quality but many times it is reflected the construction of a cigar. The Ibis Honduras is one of the best cigars I have held in my hand when it comes to construction. The cigar was Sumeric in a way, you should think it was cast in a mold and not rolled by hand. Incredibly impressive I must say – especially considering the low price. It was incredibly firm and had neither soft parts, plugs nor veins.

The green band with a bird in the center of it, gave a impression of everyday cigar. I could imagine my self taking a walk in the forest or sitting on a bench near the sea, light the cigar and just let time pass by.

The draw of the cigar was neither loose nor thin from the beginning.

Luckily, it was only towards the end of the cigar and it didn’t ruin the overall experience.
