TX Duo Review - Quesada Octoberfest 2015 Kaiser Ludwig 6x49BP

Here's a treat.

Begins with rich earthy and settles into dark sourdough rye, leading into the 2nd half with salted pretzel and sweet dark beer as is appropriate or at least psychosomatic. Trails out with cocoa dust and milk coffee.

Needed some attention with touchups, including basically a relight to start.

Solid 88-90

As per @Capn_Jackson's request.

Great light-up of nuts and cream. First third is full of deep cold brew coffee. Very smooth, no edges. Some dried fruit here and there.

2nd third goes more of cocoa and hazelnut. Nutella on a toasted bagel. Hints of coriander on the finish. My notes aren’t fully coherent, been distracted by great conversation with Cody and another gentleman whose name I, sadly, did not get. Back to the cigar. Coconut crème. Marzipan. The burn line has been a little wonky here and there, several touchups needed, and a relight at one point. No detriment to flavor, but slight annoyance.

A few more relights as I get closer to the nub, but the flavor is spot on. Brioche bread, caramel. Some leather tack. Crushed hazelnuts.

This one I take to the nub. Only gets a little bitter, but fantastic cigar. 90.

It was an extremely strong 90. I'm glad to know that you would enjoy this one.

Your retrohale shows more nuttiness and herbacious than I got, hmmm.

My retrohale knows no shame.
