This cigar was gifted to me a couple of years ago through a bomb, and I've been saving it for a perfect night like this. This stick is a nice medium brown with small but visible veins in the wrapper. Beautiful construction and presentation.
After I clip it with my awesome Palio cutter, the pre-light draw had perfect resistance, and tasted of sweet cedar.
The cigar lit up quite nicely, and had a nice burn line right from the start. I absolutely hate when I have to keep touching up cigars...just takes away from the overall experience. Plenty of thick clouds of smoke.
Flavors were nice and earthy with a subtle pepper on the tongue and through the retrohale. Flavors stayed pretty consistent throughout, with the only changes coming toward the end of the smoke.
The ash was a quite solid light grey ash, and it held for about an inch at a time.
Towards the end of the stick, it mellowed out a bit, and had a nice woody flavor on the finish, and the pepper sat on the back and sides of my tongue.
And believe it or not, this is the BEST shot I could get of the moon...have no idea how to take pictures of the sky at night...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Overall this was a great cigar! Not sure when I'm going to get the opportunity to have another, as no place near me sells them that often, but if I see one, I'll be sure to pick it up.
Thanks for reading!
