Pre-Smoke
Scent of Wrapper: Very Earthy. Nice Tobacco smell.
Scent at Foot: Similar - not as strong as wrapper.
Wrapper: Dark Chocolate Brown, small veins, light sheen
Feel: Very firm
Tongue: Very slight tingle
Flavor on Draw: Nothing stood out
Smoke
Taste: Woody taste, black peppercorn without the spice. After about an inch I picked up some burnt coffee.
Strength: Solid Medium
Smoke: Not much smoke coming off the cigar, but it filled the mouth on the intake.
Draw: near perfect - some resistence but not too loose or tight
Finish: short but creamy
Other: Easy light, nice tight burn
OVERALL: A very good cigar that was a piece of cake to smoke. Razor sharp burn line in addition to great taste. I would rate it 8.5 out of 10 on the ICRS.

Pre-Smoke:
Scent: Nice earthy scent.
Appearance: Very nice-looking belicoso. No major flaws or soft spots.
Smoke:
Taste: This cigar had a very nice earthly taste and with some hints of coffee.
Strength: Medium Bodied.
Heat on the Fingers and in Mouth: None, it remained cool until the end.
Draw: Very good draw.
Burn: It burned very even and required no touch-ups. The ash was rock-solid.
This is very good cigar. It has great construction and burns very nicely. I really enjoy the flavor of the J. Fuego Corojo.
Overall: 8.6/10.0
