What a boppin' smoke!
This cigar is unbelievable. I use a V-cut on this particular stick. Smells beautiful. Rolled amazing and lights up right away. Nice draw, no runners or drags, burns with an ash like a stack of nickels. The oily maduro will have you not wanting to put it down. First third comes in smooth and cool with immediate earthy notes of pepper and leather, maybe even sweet note, but subtle. Onto the second third the flavors really ramp up, having a woody and flashing scent of strong earth. This cigar is blended perfectly. The exhale leaves my mouth constantly full of saliva craving for more. The retrohale stings the nostrils with pleasure of spice and sweet tobacco. Moving into the last third this smoke has become a masterpiece of the description above, it envelopes characters of a what you need after a hard days work on a hot day. The leather and earth notes burn hotter, but the head and cap have kept bonded and have no dry cracking. Now we're getting into some craziness! I can't put it down! The only downside is that it has to end. This is one you'll be smoking all the way down to the end wishing it wouldn't end. My palate is full of amazing flavors, makes you want to fire up another right away. Burn time = 45 mins to an hour. Stupendous. 9.5 out of 10
