Pros:
|
Nice, easy, mild smoke
|
|
Cons:
|
Nothing stands out
|
|
Pre-Smoke
Scent of Wrapper: Very Earthy smell, almost "barnyard"
Scent at Foot: Very Similar with a little bit of a sweet smell creeping in
Wrapper: Even color & nice wrapper. Nice construction
Feel: Firm but not rock solid
Tongue: Nothing Noticible
Flavor on Draw: Nothing noticible, no tingle
Smoke
Taste: Rich & creamy, a coffee type of taste
Strength: Mild
Smoke: Not a large amount of smoke. Decent aroma
Draw: Nice free draw but not loose, just a little bit of resistance
Finish: Long and creamy - coats the mouth
Other: Easy light and a fairly even burn
Final Rating - 7.5
I know, I have rated a couple cigars at 7.5 but I have to say they are very good cigars but nothing stood out to make them rate higher. This cigar was a nice mild smoke and it would probably go well with a cup of coffee in the morning with the newspaper. You don't really have to think about it as you are smoking it and it is not going to knock you on your tail.

Pros:
|
Solid Smoke
|
|
Cons:
|
Doesn't really stand out
|
|
Pre-Smoke:
Scent: Mostly a nice earthly scent.
Appearance: It had decent construction, but it could be better
Smoke:
Taste: Earthy-tobacco with some hints of coffee.
Strength: Mild.
Heat on the Fingers and in Mouth: None, it remained cool until the end.
Draw: Very good draw.
Burn: It burned decent and required the occasional touch-up.
This is good cigar with good construction. It burned fairly good. It is a nice mild-bodied cigar, but it really doesn't stand out from the crowd.
Overall: 6.9/10.0
