[Dom]

Brand: Hoyo Dark Sumatra
L/RG: 4.5x50
Box (10)
Size: Espresso (roschilde)
Price: $4.35 (cigar.com)
Smoke Date: 5/12/09
Weather: 66, sunny, nice
Beverage: Triple Espresso


Appearance & Presentation-Nice looking maduro, great presentation with multiple bands and a cedar sleeve, looked very impressive.
19/20

Lighting and Burning-Lit up quick, solid grey ash that was very firm. Burned very evenly.
13/15

Construction- Draw was ideal from the get go and stayed good throughout. Wrapper was very well put on, the only problem was the top cap of the triple cap was poorly assembled.
26/30

Taste- VERY smooth smoke, started out with a buttery meaty taste that faded into a very deep and rich chocolate aftertaste. This lasted about an inch, then the buttery taste kinda turned into some nice light black pepper for a good 1/2 inch, then back to the deep chocolate flavor. I absolutely loved the deep, rich, velvety chocolate aftertaste, and the nice little peppery hiatus, even though i don't prefer any spice or pepper in my smokes, was pretty nice.
30/35





























19+13+26+30= 88/100- B+

Overview: Very good, consistent smoke. Box of 10 was $35 online at JR. It ran me about 45 minutes from start to finish & i nubbed it pretty good. I'd suggest it to anyone who likes maduros, and anyone who likes a very flavorful smoke.

The wrapper is actually a dark natural Ecuadoran Sumatra, not a maduro. Another reason why I like this smoke so much. Im not much of a maduro fan. Nevertheless great review and pics. Keep em coming Bro!
