Aromas of light tobacco , cedar, and tea from this fine constructed cigar. The wrapper is light brown with a smooth, silky texture. There are few prominent veins.
1 Third
I’m out on my porch on a cool, sunny Ohio afternoon listening to the cars go by and watching people mow their lawns for possibly the last time this year. My sidewalk is covered in leaves that I need to clear, but it’s time for a cigar first. The cigar begins with light coffee and cream flavors with subtle hints of nutmeg.
2 Third
The ash is forming well, and the burn is very even. I’m now picking up flavors of chocolate with toasted nutmeg becoming more apparent. The cigar is mild to medium in body. The aftertaste is floral in nature.
Last third
The cigar required a slight touch-up at this point. The flavors of chocolate and nutmeg are remaining consistent. The cigar is generating a large amount of aromatic smoke.
Over all impression:
A cigar without much comlplexity or depth, it still provides for an enjoyable smoking experience. The flavors are subtle and sublime providing for a good morning or lazy-day smoke.
Rating:
3/6 smoke rings (an average cigar but worth smoking)
