Mark Twain Memoir

Description

I’ve made it a rule to never enjoy more than one cigar at a time.

Mark Twain was a prolific novelist, satirist, cigar enthusiast, and the originator of the ‘that’s what she said’ joke. While that last part may require some additional verification, Twain’s love of tobacco, and his particular devotion to the cheapest cigars money could buy, is an established legend. Mark Twain Memoir is the newest addition to the line, and ratchets up the intensity and flavor while still staying true to its core.

Mark Twain Memoir jumps off the page with a dark Pennsylvania Broadleaf maduro wrapper blanketing a hearty blend of rich Nicaraguan premium long-fillers. Medium to full-bodied, expect to be met with a dose of pepper and spice from the get-go, with notes of cream, cedar, hay, and coffee settling in to round out the blend. Pick up this big-ring premium handmade at a price that even Mark Twain himself would approve of.

Not a bad cigar. I had the 60x60 size last summer and LOVED THEM, however, these weren't as flavorful. They burned well and have good construction, just lacked the flavor and spice of their bigger brothers.

Just like their namesake, Mark Twain, these cigars offer a smooth draw with a story to tell with each one. The average Joe price makes them affordable for me to make them my all day go to while at work. Shipping was fast and accurate, and everything was well packaged. I recommend the Mark Twain Memoir #3 and CI to everyone I can.

Construction is pretty good. Some of the cigar caps come loose when you cut the cigar. Draw has been good, which is key to enjoying a cigar for me. After they were in my humidor with Boveda packs, this seems to be less of a concern. Light up shows a solid binder that needs extra attention to get burning well. First third has little to none retrohale flavor ( I smoke medium rated cigars, typically). Cigar does amp up after first inch and builds towards the end. I should have let these rest after arriving but was lean on sticks in the humi.

first one out of the box i found to be excellent, good draw, good burn, all good, next two or three had burn and wrapper issues, then a couple more good ones, last night had issues from the start, wouldn't draw, put it out and cut it open, loads of tobacco, but five four inch plus thick stems, a few as thick as a match, i have three left now, i really like the flavor, construction, but have to say, in my experience the box is very inconsistent, i will try again as i hope i was just unlucky on this occasion

Picked these up based on the reviews and the special price offered. They looked like a nice addition to the humidor based on the wrapper and the blend and didn’t really expect too much. BUT, if you are looking for an enjoyable option for your putzing around the yard stick with some good flavors and not too worried about where you left it last, this is a fantastic option. Very surprised that I end up up grabbing one more than I anticipated. Nice spice, great construction based on me letting them rest a bit but are definitely ready to smoke now. Do yourself a favor and make your own decision on these as they were well worth the risk and I will purchase again.

I’ve been smoking these Mark Twain cigars for quite awhile. Drawn to them years ago by the name. Now historically the “real” Mark Twain was known for smoking constantly, when awake, as well as smoking the cheapest cigars he could find. These CI Mark Twains are not the cheapest cigars they offer, but they are rather low-priced. A very mild cigar. They always have an easy draw. They also have an even burn. Some people may say they are a good “morning” cigar, but you can smoke these all day.

Disappointed. The first 2/3's are great. Good smoke and even burn. Flavor is equal to the quality and price. The frustration is the last third. The cap comes loose and the wrapper unravels so as to be unavailable unsmokeable. I bought 20 and have smoked 10 or 12 so far. Every one has followed this pattern. I buy and enjoy many different cigars and do not have this experience. I have several brands in my humidor so it isn't how these are cared for. Again, a less than satisfactory experience.

Great daily cigar. The size is one of my favorite. Nice wrap and smoke. Smokes even and consistent. Not the smoothest taste but you should kind of expect that with just the appearance of the cigar. These are great value for the price of the cigar. The box is a great collector item as well with the wording that is printed on it.

I’ve looked at these Mark Twain cigars for years figuring it was a gimmick. I love literature and Samuel Clemens is among my favorite and I thought it was sad that they stuck his name on a cigar. A few months ago, I found a good offer on these cigars and my curiosity got the best of me. I bought a sampler and was pleasantly surprised by how good they are. I’ve stocked my humidors with different varieties of Mark Twain cigars and enjoy them all. I think Memoir is best, although I like the Riverboat and the Press. I think the daily is called #2 and that’s great as well.

A Budget-Friendly Banger To Remember

Rick G.

It isn’t much of a secret to anyone that I’m a fan of expensive cigars. If you tell me that someone made a limited-edition cigar that I won’t be able to find ever again if I don’t get some right there and then, I’m all over it. I love the serene wrappers, the beautifully embossed bands, and the overly detailed and pricy boxes. Now, you may be asking yourself: Is the Mark Twain Memoir one of these incredible, rare, and beautiful premiums this guy is droning on about? The answer is a resounding no. 

 The Mark Twain Memoir regularly sells for $4 apiece, making it a budget-friendly banger. Obviously, not my typical suspect, but it can’t hurt to try and find some new cigars that won’t empty my bank account on a weekly basis. The wrapper leaf is far from perfect, with not-so-tight seems and a few blemishes. With a quick straight cut and a slow toast from my Xikar Meridian, the Memoir is on its way. 

 Strength starts off at a true medium. Notes of earth, soft pepper, a light cocoa, and unidentified woodiness. I have to hand it to this cigar; it isn’t at all what I expected. With a plethora of Nicaraguan leaves within combined with a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper, I expected an overpowering mishmash of unharmonious flavors. What I got, however, is a much better experience. The first third is surprisingly enjoyable, and while it doesn’t have the punch I was initially expecting, the notes that are there work wonderfully together. An impressive start. 

 The burn isn’t exactly what I’d call razor sharp, but it more or less corrects itself over time. As the second third begins, strength amps up just a bit. The pepper amps up and the woodiness takes a backseat to the cocoa and earthiness. The burn keeps ebbing and flowing, without need of a single touchup. After purging it to try and burn off any excess tar, even more intensity begins to build as I move into the final third. 

 The strength just keeps moving up and up with every puff. Like I said before, this is far from the most complex cigar I’ve ever had, but the notes that are there pack quite the punch. For just $4 a piece, and regularly discounted, this might just be one of my next regular humidor stuffers. It may not use the rarest tobaccos, have the highest quality, or look the prettiest, but it’s hard to beat the burn, draw, and flavor that accompanies the Mark Twain Memoir. If you haven’t tried it, be sure to pick a few up soon. I promise they won’t empty your wallet.
