Finck Cigar Company: H.W.F. Grande

Says Finck, "A short, fat perfecto. At one time, this was the most popular shape in the U.S.!" It reminds me of Irving Kissinger, our plumber when I was a boy, who smoked cigars just like these. Sure, some may call it a "grandpa cigar," but grandpa beat the Great Depression, won the war, and left the country a better place than you ever will, so maybe he knew a little bit about tobacco as well.
The H.W.F. Grande is a step up from the previously reviewed Fink Alamo Sweet, in that it wears a natural wrapper, though its underwear is still Nuway. Nevertheless, it does have a more natural taste than the Alamo and requires no sugar, nor any excuses, whatsoever. It's a good smoke, just the way it is. Maybe its time to stop putting on airs and embrace your inner grandpa.
By the box, from the factory, H.W.F. Grande cigars go for almost exactly a buck a piece.
