[cv]

[dvickery]

first the preamble...this and 3 other beauties were sent to me by rjs(thanks rob)...have been waiting for a couple of weeks for them to get over travell shock.been sick too so the wait wasnt all just for the smokes' benifit.bish just posted a review on the nat so lets see how they compare.


appearance,quality and construction...impecable construction except the cap and its gone now.looks like a chocolate bar,i wanna take a bite.pretty solid square stick.easy draw after cliping.

aroma...prelight musty woody earthy.here i will take a break,make coffee and light up.add leather after lightup.

flavor and aftertaste...starts with straightforward tobacco taste with a hint of citrus.very maduro start.half way,still good solid tobacco taste,with a metalic aftertaste.past the 2/3 mark some real strength and power.


burn and ash...even burn with a light grey(solid)ash.

overall...real fine smoke,mellow for a maduro,but not lacking in strength.

final mark...8.8 to 9.0
reviewing a single is iffy(especially after being sick),but this guy was a good smoke.was not dissapointed with my first pam.
