~Prelight~
The cigar is built very well and has no thick veins or stems. It's a beautiful dark color with a chocolaty, sweet aroma. It cuts cleanly. The pre-draw is a little metallic with hints of spice and sweetness.
~First Thoughts~
I've had better. It leaves a burning sensation in my mouth I don't normally get with cigars. Maybe it was the gum i had earlier.
~Taste~
I was getting a metallic taste that burned as well as hits of toast and a final note of spicy chocolate.
~Aftertaste~
Pleasant earthy mouth feel. I can't complain one bit about the aftertaste.
~Final thoughts~
Good yardgar for the price. I'd rather smoke a Cheap Bastard or a good ole' Oliva G. I want to try another though to see if the cigar might have been stored wrong (got it in a pass from another site.... people on this board are more intelligent and store their cigars correctly!). I'd smoke it again
