1st cigar of day, 9am

immediately shows the classic raisin spice of the marca. Rich cakey dry, superb accompaniment to cold brew. Great construction and well humidified, so a technically easy smoke. Picks up an apple dumpling character moving into 2nd 3rd. Distinctly orange pith creme flavors start after ash fall, hello Cuba!

Last 3rd - black cherry compote, pumpkin pie; needs rum, not coffee. Grilled vanilla cake and apricots at the nub, which is a glorious payoff for my palate.

Fantastic 89-91, not mind blowing but a superb reminder of why to buy PSP/HQ and wait a year.
