Think my taste and sense of smell is back.  Or at least 95%!   Relieved....   I fear one day it will disappear forever....  

This was the last from the above box.  Probably 18 were “Wow”! cigars.  This one was pretty good and maybe could have been a “wow” if I was 100%, but maybe it was just one of the “that was a good smoke” smoke like you find in any box of CC.  

Balanced, medium in body.   Definite earthiness and some mild pepper flavors, but not too much.  I’m not a heavy pepper flavor fan.  There was some sweetness to this cigar as well...   Almost a baking pumpernickel bread quality to it.  The fact that I could distinguish more than one flavor is encouraging. I’m almost completely well.  Burn was good but required one touch up.   That might have been because I was driving while smoking and the wind in the truck cab may well have influenced the burn.   Medium grey ash held well.   In the dark I only managed to drop one in my lap by forgetting to knock it off in my ash cup.... ?

I think I have a box in the OLH, and if I can make space I’ll call it home soon.  Definitely a favorite of mine.
