Pros:
|
VALUE SMOKE. Great draw, nice flavor
|
|
Cons:
|
|
|
Scent of wrapper: Earthy with hints of spice
Scent at foot: Strong Earth Sent or barnyard sent.
Wrapper: This was a light brown wrapper that was almost an orange tint. I could find no major flaws in the wrapper, the color was consistent but there was a light sport by the cap, and part of the leaf got darker towards the cap.
Feel: Firm with no soft spots, very consistent feel.
Tongue: After cutting the triple cap, I have a spicy feeling on the tongue, and well as a little tingle that lasted for about 20 seconds or so.
Flavor on Draw: First, this is a perfect draw pre-light, with Earthy flavors, sort of woodsy.
Taste: This stick hits you with some mild spice flavors upon light. I sensed black pepper in the first inch or so. The flavor was constant throughout the cigar with some hints of espresso or strong coffee coming through. This would be a Medium to Medium Full cigar I think, leaning more to the medium end of things. All in all a good flavor, very constant, and now very complex.
Ash: Medium grey ash, very densely packed and it hung on for a while.
Feeling: This was a relaxing cigar; I never had to worry about the burn or construction. With a medium/full smoke, this was a great way to end the day.
Scent of smoke: Woodsy and tobacco. Nice, not overpowering.
Heat on fingers and in mouth: None
Draw: The draw was flawless.
Finish: Spicy woodsy finish...
Other aspects of the Cigar Smoking Experience: You know for the price, this was a fantastic smoke. I got off C-bid for about 2.25 a sick, and you cannot beat that. For the price, I think this is one of the best values out there. The construction was flawless on each of the yellow labels that I smoked. A really nice value cigar.
