Description:

Pre-smoke

Scent of Wrapper: light tobacco and hay

Scent at Foot: more intense tobacco smell

Appearance

Wrapper: two small veins along the length, a water spot and a small hole in the wrapper

Feel: firm the whole length

Tongue: slight acidity

Flavor on Draw: fresh tobacco, hit of sweetness

Smoke

Taste: cedar with hint of floral and nuts

Flavor Changes

Strength: started out more mild to medium, 2nd third it filled out more medium, last 3rd stayed at medium, did not get tarry but neither were there any real flavor changes.

Feeling: relaxing

Scent of Smoke: Very pleasant, floral and sweet

Heat on Fingers and in Mouth: n/a

Draw: slight resistance but a nice draw

Finish: very pleasant finish, very short

Other Aspects of the Cigar Smoking Experience: Not a very complex smoke at this size, I find the corona a more tasty size for this cigar. Left a slight film on the tongue but not detracting or unpleasant.

I probably would be more apt to recommend this cigar in the corona size but this wasn't bad if gotten at a good price.

Final Rating: 6.7 - while very enjoyable and tasty it could have been better.

Keywords:

Heat on Fingers and in Mouth: Very light.

I probably would recommend this cigar with a warning to remove cedar cover so it would release all of the aromas it retains.

Final Rating: 7.0 Very pleasant fruity smoke with a good cup of coffee.
