1/7/2024 7:28:21Bradlee Wilson Brad W.)147295"The cigar has a nice, dark, chocolate cocoa brown wrapper, with a tight, small pigtail cap. Has a very earthy footnote and a heavy fruited licorice on the cold draw. The cigar is evenly packed and comes in a beautiful, soft box press. The tooth, invisible veins, and cigar, add to the total package and appearance. The first few puffs upon light up, have a slightly sweet fruity flavor with a great back end cream mouth feel." -<strong>Bradlee Wilson </strong> (Brad W.)95"Fig, plum, earth, fermented" -<strong>Bradlee Wilson </strong> (Brad W.)95Mild-MediumMedium"So far in the first third, those flavor notes (earth, fermented fruit, plum, cocoa) have built from the initial light up. There’s a long finish, and a nice mild to medium body on the mouth feel the smoke is creamy, almost chalky, but tolerable. There’s a nice cabinet spice note on the foot smoke. As the first third ends, there’s a deep fermented fruity note with a little bit of cocoa, and a very slight slight slight white pepper. Overall the ashes burning straight, white and hot with dimes noted to be stacked. Money!
" -<strong>Bradlee Wilson </strong> (Brad W.)		92.5Mild-MediumMedium"This is where I hit the first retrohale. The notes are pretty much unchanged, but it’s a very, very nice smooth deep, fermented note that lives on the palate. A hard to find note but the plum-earthy vibes live in this cigar. Bodies pretty much unchanged, a slightly sweet cocoa lives on the pallet for about 30 seconds after the retro, very enjoyable. The ash is, strong, sturdy, and still stacking dimes. The construction on the cigars is literally superb." -<strong>Bradlee Wilson </strong> (Brad W.)95MediumMedium-Full"The final third of the cigar continued with the same balanced notes of cream, dusky cocoa and fermented flavor. Very rich flavors as the cigar nubs out with a kick in body as the cigar was ending. The cigars construction was excellent scoring it very high in my review. The ash was nicely packed, tight and fell off appropriately in 1.5” chunks. " -<strong>Bradlee Wilson </strong> (Brad W.)97.5"Just the right amount of pull!

And sometimes it's nice when that holds true if it is something you typically enjoy. Good and hearty, with rich bold flavors make for a great session in the cold weather. I'm glad I got the opportunity and look forward to discovering what it is, so I can smoke it again to pair with a delicious coffee stout. It feels like they would be made for each other and I'm happy to find out for you. 100https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wzNN-JGNquti2F09jKW77ghMM1Wg6dFN, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bz0e19cQv4uYDze_u8wHzl71GyjIPr39, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fFFA_l1C9ogTOMYvGc86AGumxmDOGWGd, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eceR538QvTUNdIjJCdRJR8L_JVXzUjmw

This cigar has a pigtail on the head. GoodHeavy manure on the body & foot. Very GoodMediumLight-MediumI tear off the pigtail so I do not have to cut and I pick up chocolate on the cold draw. The draw is snug, but going to wait and see how it preforms after lighting it up.

I get mostly sweet tobacco, cherry and some wood notes. The strength is definitely a medium to full, but mostly a medium. 		Very GoodMediumLight-MediumNo real changes in this third, which is fine. I did eventually v-cut this cigar, because I was getting tar build up. This really helped with the draw. Strength is still at a medium. Very GoodMediumLight-MediumWell the cigar stayed true to it's form and kept the same flavor profile and strength. Really nothing else to add, and that's ok with me. It was an enjoyable smoke. GoodI tore the pigtail off, and it was fine, but then it had tar build up so I v-cut it and that helped. Plenty of smoke output, no complaints. GoodBurn was ok, I did have some relight issues. Not sure if it was me or the weather. Very GoodVery good construction despite the relights. Plenty of ash and the cigar burned cool. Very GoodOverall this was a very good cigar and I would smoke it again. Lots of sweet tobacco, cherry notes and wood throughout. My only dig was there were too many relights, and not sure if it was me or the weather. I'd recommend picking up a fiver. It was a good 2hr smoke for me. 120
