RASCC ETP MAR 17 (M&CRW)

[djrey]

Very dark and thick wrappers with these. Smells of dark fruits, raisins and plums with some forest floor. Cigar starts up with a nice burn and draw. Opening notes into the first half are pretty disappointing. A paper type flavor dominates. Very light wispy mouthfeel. 

Second half improves a bit. That dark fruit flavor I got on the nose is coming in along with a touch of bitterness. Strength has crept up and left me feeling a bit of the nicotine. 

This example was rather disappointing. I did have it as my second cigar of the day and also after dinner. Maybe that impacted it? 

More of my "Cuban radio" Pandora station to go with this one. 

84 pts.

I used to have an etp 17 box that was absolute fireproof garbage …hopefully the rest of yours are better than this and mine

My ETP MAR 17 box is smoking OK, definitely not garbage level. 🤞
