Ok guys I'm a newbie but here goes anyway..
La Vieja Habana Cameroon
5x54
Pre-smoke
Scent of Wrapper: kind of horse like, maybe dry hay
Scent at Foot: rich with hints of coffee and cocoa
Appearance: looks to be well constructed
Wrapper: a couple of small veins and one sunflower seed sized green spot between the band and the cap
Feel: firm
Tongue: slightly tart and savory with a little bitterness
Flavor on Draw: similar to tongue, with a easy draw pleasant
Smoke
Taste: First third: sweet, savory, with a little spice
Second third: sweet spice pick up a little
Last third: got a kind of a chemical finish, ashed and purged, let it rest a minute, it got better
Strength: mild to medium
Scent of Smoke: windy today couldn’t tell
Heat on Fingers and in Mouth: cool till I got to the band
Draw: mostly free with a little resistance (punched cap)
Finish: smooth and short till last third, then lingered a bit
Other Comments: firm salt and pepper ash, burned very consistently with no touchups in spite of the wind
