Recommended Posts

This cigar was part of a 5er that I picked up. I had heard good things from others on the forum and thought I would give it a go.

Prelight

Some spice on the foot and mainly the smell of tobacco. Toasted the foot with a torch and them lit it with a soft flame.

1st Third

Straight into a milk chocolate, and mild coffee with loads of cream. This is a very smooth cigar. Breathing the smoke into my nose it is straight cream. Draw is great and have a decent burn. 90pts

2nd Third

Continued with the heavy cream until about half way through the second third. The spice showed up as black pepper and dark coffee enough to make my lips tingle slightly. Medium body still a fantastic burn. 90pts

Final third

The spice has mellowed slightly now it is a good balance of the cream and spice. It makes you want to smoke it to your knuckles. 92pts

Overall

This is a great smoke. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I can see why others on the forum have spoken so highly of it, especially being a regional release. Great little 1 hour to an hour twenty smoke. Will definitely make my short list for a box purchase. However the price maybe a slight deterrence. Overall a 90-92 point cigar.
