[Akela3rd]

Long day so a short cigar this evening. There's a beautiful moon out and it's all rather peaceful. I haven't had one of these in a while but do remember that it's been a good box. Nice sheen on the wrapper and construction feels spot on. Straight cut for a change and the first draw brings a sharp fruity opening, lemon peel and plums.

Just noticed Jupiter and Saturn are showing too on this clear night, triangulated to the moon - how neat is that?

The cigar is smoking nice and cool with a creamy smoke. Firm pack but a good draw. Lemon tartness recedes and returns in waves as it progresses with the underlying deep fruitiness a constant.

Touch of brioche here and there towards the middle, slightly sweet and bready. Retrohaling gives a pleasant tingle.

Bit of a wonk on the burn towards the end but it's been generally excellent.

The lemon tartness turns more prominent as I finish throwing what has been a beautiful balance of flavours out slightly.

All in all quite simply a very good cigar that lasted almost an hour, so much for the short cigar plan...

8/10
