Dalay Zigarrentasting 20 Headley Grange ft Thorsten Dick DIGKdesign

...

Salih: Welcome to the Dalay Cigar Blog

OK Dickie, tell us - we are guests here in your office
and design halls , is that right?

Dickie: Right.These are our rooms with office and
exhibition space and this is where our ideas arise.

Salih: And one or another boisterous party took place
in here. Dickie: right

Salih: This evening we keep our feet on the ground

As we have to work...

...in terms of work and less phat I welcome
Michael, who had has and will accompany us
and so forth

Michael: Why don't you say bother? Say what
you think

Salih: Yeah, yeah yeah
Who is missing is our dear friend Zoki.

Zoki is taking care of the hostesses at the Austrian
snow board World Cup

For our 20th Anniversary as importer
Michael has landed the number one brand in the USA
for us.

Dickie: Well done Michael!
Salih: The company CROWNED HEADS

honoured us to import their cigars
to Germany

John Huber will add a video message, too
Michael: Maybe not Salih: Maybe not.

I did not do any homework not about
the cigar nor the brand

Because I am very good in pro inviting myself
and degassing and producing and passing on activity

Therefore Michael may say something on this
Michael: You mean to delegate

Salih: del..pa..ohh if this is how it's called
I am not good in loanword

Michael: What should I do now?
Salih: The brand, what is it , who is it

Michael: Ah Four Kicks no Headly Grange

Crowned Heads, Headly what?!

The brand, you meantioned it as the hottest
brand in the USA

Salih: It's a fact, yeah

Michael: It's a fact. Two guys from CAO,
you might know this from the Brazil or Italia
or The Sopranos Edition

They decided to do their own thing

Have called the company
Crowned Heads

And the Hedaley Grange was delveloped out
of the idea to make a cigar taste as a song

and not any song but a song from Led Zeppelin
in fact the first 6 secounds of When the Levee Brakes

That's a phat drum riff, that's hammering down there

And this is how the cigar is supposed
to taste

Salih: But you will not play this now, too
in adition to your guitar tootle

Michael: I did not want to anyway and it is not
written in my contract, I said I do it
anyway

Salih: Lucky us. You are saved from Michael at the drumsticks

The cigar starts sensational full-bodied. On the middle
of the strength scale. Seems to make a lot of fun.

The artwork is very restrained.

Dickie, for you as a cigar beginner how do
you see the strength?

Dickie: ehm, I find it very pleasant, has a nice
strength, I'd put in the lower sector

Makes a lot of fun, a nice cigar
I am keen on how it goes on in the
next thirds.And yes, very pleasant.

Salih: Nice to hear,so you see suitable for beginners.too

Michael, you as would-be afficionado, how do you like it?

Michael: Why would-be?!
Salih: It takes a while until you are able to

degassing, retro-shave and first of all...ehm
Michael: not enough to become a Salihfi so far

Salih: I mean only because you once blended
the Dalay Intifada (talking about the Limitada)
you don't need to play the high-flyer now

What do you say about the stick now?

Michael: Stick is sweet, almond paste sweet

And very important for me:
NO PEPPER!

I hate pepper!

No pepper, amlond paste sweetness,
and roasted almonds

This is not a complex cigar, but like from the
first puff - straight in your face

nothing left or right, not filigree or something
but strong in flavours.

And the good thing is, the strength is medium

so not so light , it will hit you during the smoke
Dickie: I'm curious about it.
Michael: We are around 6 / 10

maximum 7 / 10
in strenght

but to the end it will get stronger, right?

I find this thing totally phat.

Salih: Very pleasant, very creamy, and what is hard,
the more flooded the German market is

by new brands, and you loose the overview

it has an unique feature
In this character I would not know
a 2nd stick

Michael: nuts, Slaih, nuts
Salih: You should have 'em for sure!
Michael: NUTS

Salih: The stick stays very pleasant,
makes a lot of fun

My ashes still standing as always in contrast to

Ok Dickie I can understand he is
Michael: so nervous, right

Salih: He is learner, and puts down his ashes
every five secounds, Michael...

Michael: What's that to you?!

Salih: Michael simply is not able to, but
no need to discuss this now

Michael: Once a good Whiskey to have,
just one time!

Salih: It is fucking cold in here, therefore
we have the colleague Prichard's
with us

Dickie: Double Barrel, right?
Salih: That's Double Barrel, there he knows
his business.

Cigars, no clue but that this is Double Barrel
he pointed out with his first sip.

Dickie: And this is good, this is really good!
Salih: That is really good and makes fun, too.

And limbers us up.

Very recommended to this and for sure
other cigars

Dickie, we are here at a bar you made somehow

That's not one of your highlights
is it?

Dickie: No that's not one of my
highlights

Because it is like always

Dickie got an idea?

Do something.

We need a bar

Good, OK.

I said then gimme some old boxes

good...Michael: Has to be low cost
Dickie: Has to be low cost for sure.

Always has to be cheap!

That's the main target from our friend.

Salih: And fast! Dickie: and fast.Always
daily actions. One day, need to be done.

Michael: But you do tables on demand right?

Dickie: Yes, you can order nice things
for me to do, too.

Salih: And bars and lamps and if you need
something to be done.

Michael: He does a lot in Corian
Salih: If it has to be fast, Dickie is the man.

Yo apart from that, no clue, we are cold
and the Whisky is warming

Dickie: really phat. MUMBLING ALL AROUND

Michael: You don't need ice cubes

Dickie: No nothing, nothing.Just a glas and the bottle
that's superb

Salih: Listen, I have raisins so orange zest
Michael: What's the name of your sister?

Salih: raisin and ehm
Dickie: Her name is pink zest

Salih: yeah yeah

Michael: And you still like the cigar Salih?

Salih: What I am saying

Michael: Nice thing is it stays phat, throughout
the whole smoke

It's not like it is reducing or changing

It is there, what is there is good and present
it's yummy -

Dickie: Look what a nice ash he has
Michael: Yes, now he had .

Very yummy cigar.
Dickie: I thought you would at least ash to the ground, ahh Salih
Michael: See you in the next 3rd.

Michael: Ah, hello Dickie: Ah Michael
There lays it, right?

Michael: He did not take care again
You can do the cigar a s tight as you want
for him

Dickie: But good that you can clean the bar easily
Michael: Not his business, right

Dickie: No, who will take care of it as
always?

Dickie: Let's sink one more. Really good, or?
Michael: Yeah very good.

Headley Grange Estupendos from
the Dominican Republic

We have a sensational Sumatra wrapper

I am fan of Sumatra wrappers!

Michael: you go off on it, right?

Salih: Totally

filler & binder are from Nicaragua

You may ask why is this from the
Domenican Republic?

This question will be answered by Dickie or
Michael in an upcoming episode

I will start with the SWAG today
8 / 10

8 / 10 because phat band, phat size
I only say Estupendos

Flavour: 8 / 10
Strength: 7 / 10

The cigar gets stronger, not only in terms
of flavour but also strength

I have intense herbal notes
first of all rose pepper and ehm

Points: 90!

Hammer stick. Dickie?
And you?

Dickie: Yes, even for me as beginner
a really nice cigar

Gets a bit stronger at the end

Very pleasant smoke

Nice taste

Points: I'd say 91 points

Really recommended for beginners as well.

Nice thing!

Michael: very yummy, the sweetness
gets stronger, more intense, carries me
away

yummy...no pepper, very important

ununsually no rose paprika as you are
used to it from my end normally

fantastic 91 points

Salih: Yeah, you wanted to say something
about the production site.

Michael: I did want to
Salih: Then go for it.

Michael: Yes the thing is rolled in the
DomRep from none other than

Ernesto Perez Carillo
who is rolling them all on his own

No he doesn't - he has a lot of co-workers
that do a phantastic job

A legend in the tobacco business

Nicaragua filling & binding
and your darling a Sumatra wrapper

That's always giving a special component to
a cigar, a Sumatra wrapper , very very yummy

91 points for a series, fantastic!
