R&J Cedros no. 3 unknown code (S46RW)

[ChangBang]

Another cigar I got from the PC sampler from the host back in July.  Haven't heard much from this cigar so went in with no expectations.  Draw was tight but with a couple pokes with the perfecdraw and the draw became adequate with decent smoke output.  Burn wasn't great and needed a touchup or two, wrapper split towards the top.  Maybe little damage taking it out of the sleeve?  Not sure.  

Started off really nice with notes of cherry, nuts, and a smooth creamyness.  If it maintained that, I would've been happy considering its a smaller cigar.   It did take a pretty big turn for the worse about half way through, with most of the flavor dropping off and being replaced with a little harshness and woody flavor.

I'd rank this a 2.8/5.  Prefer the monte4 I had yesterday, but they're pretty close for me.  The start of this had better flavor but died out too fast.  Maybe I'll get another one to age for a while, but maybe there's a reason I don't see many reviews on this cigar...
