5/24/2019 16:01:09Alan Eulogy)86690"There's a few small cracks in the wrapper but it doesn't look like it will effect the experience. The wrapper itself is very dark brown with a slight red tint to it. Delicate veins run the length of the cigar and it is ever so lightly toothy to the touch. There's a large double cap but it is bunched up in spots and unevenly applied. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5"There's a lot of chocolate and baking spice on the foot. There's hints of stone fruit on the predraw and a hint of pepper. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95MediumMedium"It taste so much better than it looks. Notes of caramel, milk chocolate, and heavy cream are very present on the initial draw. Letting the draw linger lets the Spanish cedar, leather, and white pepper finish wonderfully. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95MediumMedium-Full"The level of pepper has picked up from the first third and while still not aggressive is a perfect amount to keep the palate interested. Spanish cedar is more of a player this third as well as the introduction of a slightly mineral note. There's still a lot of milk chocolate on the draw as well with heavy cream and honey. Or maybe a sweet honey like feel due to the rich smoke. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95MediumMedium-Full"The level of mineral has grown since the last third but isn't bitter. Aged leather, chocolate, heavy cream, white pepper, and cedar round out the profile. Cracks on the wrapper have become larger and is slightly effecting the draw now making the smoke thinner than the previous two thirds. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)90"The draw was near perfect till the end when cracks on the wrapper started to become larger. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95"Razor sharp needing no touch ups or relights." -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)90"Probably the one shortfall of the cigar. The wrapper kept cracking throughout the experience but didn't effect the smoke till the end. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95"Incredibly tasty cigar. The flavors evolved and mingled perfectly till the end. Other than some construction issues I had, I would recommend this to anyone. Very flavorful, excellent smoke output, and a great burn is everything you look for in a top notch cigar. Perfect everyday cigar.

" -<strong>John A. </strong> (Bostoneo)92.5Medium-StrongMedium-Full"Super rich full bodied tobacco hits hard after lighting up. The profile tones down a little and I am still left with a very rich tobacco. Towards the final end of this third it mellows out some more into a medium roasted coffee bean aroma flavor. " -<strong>John A. </strong> (Bostoneo)90StrongFull"The body ramps up in flavor! Intense rich and bold flavors of leather, coffee, and tobacco scream at my taste buds fighting for attention. These bold flavors fight to be known this whole third. " -<strong>John A. </strong> (Bostoneo)87.5StrongFull"A slight sour note starts off this third with a full bodied slap in the face. Strength is at full force while I ease back in my rocking chair, trying not to pass out. Nothing but pure 100% octane full bodied tobacco here. Not for the faint at heart.

Rich and bold tobacco flavors with some nuances of coffee and leather dominated the entire experience with no holding back on the strength. Wished there was a bit more variety of flavor, however it was a decent smoke that should be carefully considered as a nightcap.

The wrap lines are a little loose but overall the cigar is firm and well packed. " -<strong>Jeff </strong> (ExpendableYouth)90"The foot of the cigar gives off rich tobacco, hay, and spicy cinnamon note. " -<strong>Jeff </strong> (ExpendableYouth)92.5MediumMedium"My initial impression of this cigar is that the flavors seem a bit muted. There is black pepper, cedar, and a hint of mineral but the smoke output is rather wispy so the flavors never really develop and fade out quickly. " -<strong>Jeff </strong> (ExpendableYouth)87.5MediumMedium"The second-third has mellowed considerably and is now dominated by cedar, mineral, and tobacco. The smoke output leaves a lot to be desired and has been very thin. It is difficult to say whether this is because of the cigar itself, or the weather (it is currently in the mid-90s). The actual smoking experience itself is pleasant enough but is just missing something. " -<strong>Jeff </strong> (ExpendableYouth)87.5MediumMedium"The final-third is a continuation of the earlier thirds. Cedar, mineral, and tobacco have dominated the profile throughout but there is a bit more black pepper creeping in which is a nice change of pace. The cigar has performed well from start to finish but my biggest complaints continue to be the actual smoke output and the general lack of complexity. " -<strong>Jeff </strong> (ExpendableYouth)85"The draw was a bit open and airy for my liking." -<strong>Jeff </strong> (ExpendableYouth)95"The burn was perfect throughout. The cigar never needed a relight or touch up. " -<strong>Jeff </strong> (ExpendableYouth)87.5"The smoke output on this cigar was a bit disappointing. I feel that the flavors were a bit muted throughout and never had a chance to fully develop. " -<strong>Jeff </strong> (ExpendableYouth)87.5"I wouldn't classify this as a bad cigar. However, the draw and smoke output negatively effected the overall experience and hampered the profile development.
