While not overly complex, the flavor is solid and prominent now. | Good | Medium | Light-Medium | The smoky hickory and mesquite flavors begin to fade into the background as the leather returns. A heavy metallic dirt note near the end isn't very enjoyable compared to the previous flavors. | Excellent | The draw was slightly tighter than I preferred, and I occasionally had to work to get a good mouthful of smoke. | Close to Perfect | The burn was excellent, staying rather sharp the entire time, and required no touch-ups or relights. | Excellent | The only flaw in the construction was a slightly too-tight draw, but otherwise, everything was solid. | Very Good | Overall, this was a mostly enjoyable but not very complex cigar. The mix of mesquite and hickory flavors was enjoyable but almost one note. The ending, turning a bit metallic, left a bad final taste on the palate that somewhat ruined the overall experience. The cigar was forgettable, good, but nothing special. | 83 | https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xuilQxpqPmpraU0z_G_KZuryKDTJx_mQ, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yKojVJ8js1rbtQjnrZdlBWV04tclFP6L, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_3DtRSVqhXDzOkHtRxoFTedKriQLw-Zb, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UmsmVutFNQyODYGnSbfEUzAgc0DkPrOu, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iI2nQbKpzpaYGjR-A_ETcywGlfk2lhYe | |||||||||||||
