A Brief Cigar Review – K A Kendall 7-20-4
<html>
<p>The 7-20-4 has a complex blend that is handcrafted with Honduran, Nicaraguan, Mexican &amp; Colombian long-filler, a Costa Rican binder, and the Brazilian Mata-Fina wrappers. After normal curing and aging, the 7-20-4 are aged again in Spanish cedar boxes for another 120 days to mellow.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Wrapper</strong>:&nbsp;Brazilian Mata Fina<br>
<strong>Binder:</strong> Columbia<br>
<strong>Filler:</strong> Nicaragua, Honduran, Mexican<br>
<strong>Size:</strong>&nbsp;5 5/8 x 46 &nbsp;( Corona &nbsp;)<br>
<strong>MSRP:</strong> $6.50</p>
<p>The pre-light draw has intense flavors of sweet raisin with a light citrus note. &nbsp;It is very pleasant. &nbsp;The scent is just that of barnyard, which is a very common cigar aroma before lighting.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I love the pigtail on the cap, and the closed foot:</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15241966_10211644904866610_2157591987499686587_n.jpg?oh=cd5fb5aca07db85428634c8eb28ebdee&amp;oe=58C1E6BD" width="960" height="824"/></p>
<p>After lighting, and a few puffs in, the flavor profile develops. &nbsp;I get a very sweet citrus flavor with some cinnamon zest, as well as pepper on the finish. Some graham cracker is mixed in as well.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15317989_10211644904906611_3569835345955412322_n.jpg?oh=542ee5d2671bb706f25e0b882ffe9443&amp;oe=58B11A64" width="960" height="720"/></p>
<p>I really dig the flavor profile of the 7-20-4 so far. &nbsp;The smoke output is very bountiful and quite smooth. &nbsp;There is no problem retro-haling the creamy smoke. &nbsp;The draw is also perfect. &nbsp;The burn line isn't on point at times, but it works itself out, of course with my OCD I touch it up before it does.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15267975_10211644905706631_1079680452782449775_n.jpg?oh=877b13c656ea6ebecbcf255a372f2262&amp;oe=58F376CE" width="960" height="716"/></p>
<p>The citrus note fades and in it's place is more of a spicy chocolate. &nbsp;The cocoa could also be describe as to have a little espresso mixed in. The body is upper-to-medium, and quite smooth with an amazing aroma. I can tell that this tobacco is aged properly, it provides flavors that work well together and do not dominate each other. &nbsp;It has balance, and creaminess. As well as some complexity.</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15241848_10211644905746632_2912966648846457564_n.jpg?oh=316834d0a4f6fe57145b010be4fefd07&amp;oe=58B80B91" width="960" height="720"/></p>
<p>Overall I really love this cigar. &nbsp;The properly aged tobacco, the construction, the flavors, the amount of smoke, THE PRICE, these are all pro's about the 7-20-4. &nbsp;Any con's are negligible and not worth mentioning. All I know is I need to buy more, this one was gifted to me recently by a good friend in an online cigar forums. The only other one I have had before was also part of a trade. &nbsp;At this price, it needs to have a regular place in my humidor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I really enjoyed the 7-20-4 by KA Kendall. It was a pleasant surprise. I rate it <em>9 out of 10</em></p>

Definitely give it a try, especially for the price.  You can order from Famous-smoke if your shop doesn't have them.  I agree about the design!

I am blessed with a high end cigar and liquor store ( one I worked at for 5 years) that will order anything  you request  if they can get it. Their stock on hand is amazing , walk in humidor with over 250 different selections ranging from 2.00 to 40.00  as well as a million dollar Liquor and wine inventory that include some of the rarest whiskeys. They get the entire Buffalo Trace lines( Weller, Stag, Van Winkle, etc) and they ship as well <.< to anywhere in the world( local laws as to tobacco and alcohol shipping apply )

Oh....there is no such thing as OCD when caring for a fine cigar. The ritual surrounding it is as enjoyable as actually smoking it.
