I know there has already been a few reviews of this smoke, but I had a few hours of free-time (Thanks to the recent layoff..
)
This cigar was flawless. Construction was perfect. Prelight draw was a little sweet.
So I lit this one up. Initially, the flavors were mild, but a definate sweetness with leathery undertones (If that makes sense?).. This flavor continued through the first 1/3 of the cigar.
About halfway through the cigar, the flavors changed. Now I am noticing more cocoa/bitter chocolate. I had one small burn issue, but it was because I am an idiot and need to learn how to correctly light a cigar..
The last 1/3 of this smoke was the best part. Lots of creamy smoke. I ended up smoking this one until I burned my fingers (Which I rarely do).
All in all, I would say this is one of my favorite cigars. I would give it a 9/10..
This is my 3rd of this particular line/size, and they just keep getting better.
I think I will probably try to pick up a few ~HL~ to try next..
(Oh, and don't make fun of my ash tray. I used to smoke cigarettes and have yet to buy a tray dedicated to cigars.. LOL)
