4/24/2019 16:40:00Alan Eulogy)86092.5"Very attractive cigar. The wrapper is soft to the touch, the seams are almost invisible, and the cap is a darker leaf in contrast to the golden brown hue of the rest of the wrapper. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5"There's a hay note from the wrapper. Sweet tobacco and baking spice are on the foot and predraw. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5MediumMedium-Full"Very rich blast of oily pepper on the first few puffs. Notes of leather start to develop and the smoke gives a very dry mouth feel. Mineral and bread start to take the place of very aggressive pepper. It's not an unpleasant first third but is a slightly weird profile that reminds me of peppery sour dough bread with strong notes of leather. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95MediumMedium"The ash kinda reminds me of a Cuban cigar in its burn. The level of pepper has backed off considerably, it's not gone but is more of a nice end to a pretty lengthy finish. Notes of bread, heavy cream, rich leather, and walnuts all coalesce into a much nicer profile. There's an occasional richness of Spanish cedar that pops in but its more of a flurry than a constant. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)87.5Medium-StrongFull"The level of mineral has spiked and at times is drowning out all of the more nuanced flavors. When a heavy blast of mineral kicks in its almost eye wateringly aggressive. The end is a bit of a disappointment considering the previous two thirds. Spanish cedar and leather are the only two flavors that are strong enough to hold up to the overwhelming level of mineral." -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95"Near perfect level of draw. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)97.5"Solid ash and razor sharp burn though out. Never required a touch up or relight. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95"No soft spots or blemishes to be found. Expertly constructed. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5"Kinda like a roller coaster. The beginning was promising, the middle was great, and the end felt like sitting through its a small world. This is probably one of the driest smokes I've had in awhile. The smoke output was actually very good but it always felt like it was wicking my mouth dry. It's certainly worth a try but if you're not a fan of mineral notes you might want to pass on this one.

From the wrapper and foot waft scents of mildly peppery leather. " -<strong>John A. </strong> (Bostoneo)92.5Mild-MediumLight-Medium"A slightly tight draw gets me going on the initial light up. Flavors of creamy leather and hay hit off the bat. Rich vanilla creaminess sneaks in after a half inch in and maintains course through the rest of this third. " -<strong>John A. </strong> (Bostoneo)90Mild-MediumLight-Medium"Cream, vanilla and leather keep going into the second third with a mild-medium bodied profile. Halfway through a rich buttery note replaces the vanilla for maximum enjoyment." -<strong>John A. </strong> (Bostoneo)92.5MediumMedium"The final third is upon me and with it brings flavors of charred oak, vanilla, and a nice medium profile. The intensity of the flavors tame down after awhile and the cigar tones down into a nice leathery, creamy, and slightly earthy profile. Towards the end a spicy black pepper creeps in to end this stick. " -<strong>John A. </strong> (Bostoneo)85"Bit to tight. " -<strong>John A. </strong> (Bostoneo)100"Perfect" -<strong>John A. </strong> (Bostoneo)92.5"Solid stick" -<strong>John A. </strong> (Bostoneo)90"Overall, nice connecticut cigar with plenty of flavor to get thumbs up from even more heavy bodied smokers. I felt this cigar was stunted a bit by its tighter than normal draw and could of really been a gem otherwise. The flavor profiles were spot on for a rich conni wrapped cigar any smoker would thoroughly enjoy anytime of the day for any occasion. I’d like to redux this one to see if it had a better draw.
