Punch Coronation FDG FEB 11 (PCRW)

[sho671]

Another recent acquisition of an older cigar. There was definitely some shrinkage of the cigar given the band was a little loose and it measured about 1/8 of an inch under the official 5 1/8 length. The shrinking didn't seem to effect the construction of the cigar at all. It drew well, burned pretty straight and the ash would stick around for a couple inches. For tasting notes, it started with a charred/grilled meat with a touch of spiciness, but not like black pepper spicy but some other seasonings that I can't quite place. The second third brought forward a little caramel sweetness that transitioned to an earthiness in the last third. It was a pretty good smoke in a small package.
