Putting Henry Clays "War Hawk" To The Test
The Henry Clay Putting Henry Clays "War Hawk" To The Test is a medium-full, Connecticut Shade-wrapped Robusto out of Cuba, reviewed in full below — specs, tasting notes by thirds, pairing, burn, and draw. It scored 93/100 on our board: The Regular — “something I have regularly in the humidor.”
Tasting notes
Earthy undertones, cedar, and cracked black pepper
Cocoa, nutmeg, sweet cream butter, and toasted almonds
Sourdough toast, cashew, and a lingering citrus spice
Burn: It is known for a "healthy volume" of thick, aromatic smoke. Some vitolas, like the Lonsdale, may have slightly thinner smoke if puffed too slowly.
Draw: The draw is consistently described as "nearly perfect" with just the right amount of resistance.
Construction: The cigars are solidly rolled with tight seams and a well-applied double cap, resulting in a smooth feel in the hand with no noticeable soft spots.
