Spice begins to settle allowing wood to present itself. Cigar does leave a dirty palate. Wood becomes more pronounced to a nice cedar, a vegital note resembling hay joins, the cigar is medium plus. | Good | Medium-Strong | Light-Medium | All spice leaves a single note of cedar remains burn goes a little wonky but draw is very good. | Fair | Medium-Strong | Medium-Full | Cigar remains one noted of cedar, burn did need corrected. | Great | One thing I can say I loved about the cigar was the draw. | Fair | Needed one correction and attention after the first third | Very Good | Construction seemed very nice. Nothing I can think of caught my negitive eye. | Good | Worth a single purchase. See if it strikes your fancy. | 72 | |||||||||||||
93 | 8/26/2019 15:01:16 | Isaac M. (The Nothing) | 902 | Good | This cigar had a nice appearance. It was uniform in color and seams were nearly invisible. There was a considerable wrinkle in the wrapper, though, near where the band would be. | Very Good | This cigar smelled mostly of sweet tobacco, with a touch of sourdough, especially at the foot. | Very Good | Mild-Medium | Light-Medium | This cigar stared with a sweet graham cracker taste. As the first third continued on it featured wheat and other cereal grains as the primary flavors. | Very Good | Medium | Medium | The body increased through the second third. Cereal grains still played the leading flavor roll, but was accompanied by nicely fermented tobacco flavors. | Very Good | Medium | Medium-Full | The final third continued the same flavors of cereal grains and tobacco, but saw a continued increase in body and richness of flavor. | Excellent | The draw was just about spot on with a nice v-cut. | Very Good | This cigar never burned anywhere close to straight, but it always self-corrected. | Good | The only flaw in the construction came with the wrinkle in the applied wrapper. It was a visible objection that could have caused the cigar to be left on the shelf. | Great | I was pretty happy with this cigar. While there wasn't a lot of flavor transitions to speak about, the build up of body from the beginning to the end kept me interested in the cigar. This was easily an any-day smoke. | 85 | |||||||||||||
