Old Allegheny Private Reserve toro

I believe this to be a house brand of a cigar from a Pittsburgh. My guess would be a bundle style what I like to call “humidor fillers”.  Honestly not too bad of a cigar a bit papery cardboard-ish but not a bad mild cigar for the under 2 dollar price tag.  Has a decent amount of cedar, as these cheaper mild cigars tend to, a odd muskiness that tells me they were probably sitting in someones humi for quite some time.  The cigar actually burns and smokes nicely beautiful white ash with a very nice sharp burn line.  Its a hand made cigar but it smokes like a short filler as the ash doesn’t seem to hold very long.  I keep wanting to pan this cigar based solely on the price and quality of the tobacco but it really isn’t the worst cigar I have ever smoked.  I tend to pick up what I like to consider novelty cigars when I go to a given smoke shop. Those being made for the store specifically or for the region by a particular manufacturer and some of them are really really awful this one isn’t that bad and I might have actually thought about buying this at twice the price.  I have to say though I don’t know for sure the manufacturer id be willing to stake my claim that its a Camacho as I have smoked a few other house brands that have a similar flavor profile and that was their origin.
