9/6/2020 13:19:17Alan Eulogy)103495"The wrapper is very leathery to the touch with a nice uniform medium-brown complexion. There are a few small chips in the wrapper and the seams are slightly raised in a few spots but overall it's very attractive with it torpedo cap and slightly squeezed foot. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95"The foot smells great. There's notes of brown sugar, cedar, earth, and warm baking spice. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5Mild-MediumLight-Medium"I find that it bounces back from an pretty good vegetal and cedar profile to a very good graham cracker, leather, mild pepper, and black coffee. It's getting more consistently graham cracker as I get to the end of this third. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5Mild-MediumMedium"There's a lot more earthy notes this round. It's fairly dry on the palate but with a great smoke output. I'm finding salt, leather, cedar, mineral, chalk, and an occasional meatiness to the draw. The retrohale has a bit more black pepper bite than the draw. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)90Mild-MediumMedium"It is a overwhelmingly green juice flavor at this point. There is still a little leather, pepper, wood to it but I find it mostly has a "green" flavor upfront with everything else coming out once it backs down. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95"The draw is great. Just the right amount of resistance with huge clouds of creamy smoke. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95"Slightly wavy at the beginning but it settled down and lined up just right in the middle of the cigar. Never needed to do any touch ups or relights. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5"Even with the leathery feel of the wrapper it seems it was slightly delicate. A few chips formed while I was smoking but it didn't cause any issues in terms of smoking. For the most part it was well constructed with mostly nice seam work and an attractive torpedo cap. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5"It has a very interesting profile with a couple of profile changed thrown in. If you like green flavors in your cigars it's a pretty good cigar. The smoke output is excellent, construction is great, and the torpedo cap gave it some character prelight.

9/19/2020 13:52:50Kevin A. Kevin A.)103490"A very attractive caramel colored wrapper with tight and almost invisible seams. There are minimal visible veins running through the satin wrapper all the way up to the torpedo cap. The cigar is very firm from foot to cap. " -<strong>Kevin A. </strong> (Kevin A.)90"The foot of the cigar smells spicy. Predominantly fresh ground black pepper. It almost makes me want to sneeze. The pepper is also apparent in the body of the cigar, along with hay and cedar. Prelight draw, which is a little tight which may be my fault with the cut on the torpedo cap, has hints of the black pepper and anise, with a little bit of hay and cedar. This should make for an interesting cigar for sure!" -<strong>Kevin A. </strong> (Kevin A.)90MediumMedium-Full"Wow, the first few puffs have almost no spice to them. The first notes detected are sourdough, walnut, caramel and a little bit of cinnamon. There is some pepper on the retrohale, but it is more of a mild white pepper. The black pepper detected in the prelight finally appears and sits on the tongue, with a long finish, but not overly powerful one. There is an underlying sweet cream, making this a very enjoyable and mellow start to the cigar" -<strong>Kevin A. </strong> (Kevin A.)90Medium-StrongLight-Medium"The intensity picks up a little moving into the second third. Black pepper arrives, along with a lemon zest that creates a flavorful zing on the retrohale. The sourdough, walnut, and cinnamon are all still there as well, making for a rather complex flavor combination. The underlying creaminess still holds everything together and lets the flavors just sit on are areas of the tongue. Even better, all of the flavors are working together. Draw is about as close to perfect as you can get, and burn is nice and straight. " -<strong>Kevin A. </strong> (Kevin A.)90Medium-StrongMedium-Full"The flavors don't really change moving into the final third. The spiciness and the intensity replace the sweetness that has been underlying and bring the cigar into a different dimension. There is a good black pepper note on the retrohale, and just a hint of espresso and leather on the finish, which when combined with the lemon zest, sourdough, walnut, caramel and cinnamon make for a pretty complex blend that works. Burn and draw have been outstanding throughout. " -<strong>Kevin A. </strong> (Kevin A.)95"Draw was stellar, especially considering it is a torpedo and could be cut slighlty off" -<strong>Kevin A. </strong> (Kevin A.)95"Burned like a star from start to finish with a nice sturdy ash that stayed put until removed" -<strong>Kevin A. </strong> (Kevin A.)95"The complexity of the blend, and excellent burn and draw show care was taken in leaf selection and the rolling this cigar." -<strong>Kevin A. </strong> (Kevin A.)92.5"This is one of the better cigars that I have smoked in a while. I love complex blends. Sometimes they just don't work as there is too much going on. This is not one of those cases. The cigars starts off mellow and complex, and develops into a spicy tantalizing finish where each puff leave a satisfying finish on the palate. Med/Full in strength and body, I did not get a high level of nicotine, so it should be able to be enjoyed by smokers of all experience levels. If you like cigars that are flavor filled, have great transitions, and develop in enjoyment along they way, give these a try!" -<strong>Kevin A. </strong> (Kevin A.)115#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?
