What a week. Month end closing is always fun! Got off work a little early today, so grabbed Jeff’s blind stick no. 7 and headed to the back porch. This is a nice looking double-robusto sized cigar with a Colorado shade wrapper that is smooth and oily with no prominent veins to be seen. There’s a slight give when squeezed and the weight is good in the hand. I punch the cap and find a perfect draw with a rich cocoa flavor coming through in the cold draw.
After torching the foot and a good burn going, I take a few puffs and then a slow, long draw. Wow! Lots of black pepper spice hits the back of the throat from the medium to full bodied smoke. I get flavors of cocoa, earth, wood, and worn leather as well as a rich nuttiness. The finish is somewhat clean and semi-lasting on the palate. The spice is quite strong through the first inch, burning the nostrils while exhaling through the nose; however settles down slightly once past the one inch mark.
The burn is sharp with a medium to light gray ash forming that holds strong until knocked off about every inch. Smoke flows freely through the perfect draw and flavors of cocoa, earth, and worn leather continue with a taste of earth in the undertone. The finish is still rather clean and not all too lasting, but decent nonetheless.
A third in and the ash became loose and fell on its own, luckily in the ashtray. This is one very powerful cigar leaning towards a full body with a good amount of black pepper spice still coming through. The flavor continues to be good with cocoa and leather with earthy undertones. The ash is quite flaky now with pieces coming loose and falling easily. I find a very good draw with lots of smoke coming from the sharp burn.
Towards the end, the cigar did get a little acrid with a strong, charred wood taste at times, however there was a good, straightforward tobacco taste coming through as well in the full bodied smoke. Strong black pepper spice continued to hit the back of the throat.
This was a good cigar with a full bodied smoke and lots of spice. There were good flavors of cocoa, wood, and worn leather with a nice earthiness. The burn was sharp with the ash a bit flaky.
