Growing too fast.
I woke up this morning to crimson orange sunlight shining through the window blinds, a beautiful sight. Was in the twenties, so no way going out to have a smoke with coffee, so played online for a bit, then got ready and made a few errands around town. Had a nice lunch of hot wings and blue cheese, took down the Christmas tree and decorations, put them up in the attic, and am now sitting outside putting fire to this 858 SG original release, very relaxed in the fifty degree temperature.
The cello has a good bit of yellow tint to it as I pull the cigar out. It has a medium brown wrapper with a couple of prominent veins and a nice oily sheen when held in the sunlight. Squeezing the cigar, it feels quite firm yet with a couple of soft spots around the band. There’s a good weight in the hand, and with the cap punched I find a perfect draw with taste of straightforward, matured tobacco.
Putting fire to the foot, I blow on the embers to get them nice and even, the aroma of the forming smoke smells wonderful. After a couple quick puffs, I take a long, slow draw and get a rather mild smoke with no spice detectable. Flavors are absolutely incredible right from the start, rich and delicious with a lasting finish that is lip smacking good. It’s a creamy smoke, silky smooth with a very matured tobacco taste. I have to exhale slowly through the mouth and nose, savoring the richness of light wood, sweet toasted nuts, and what seems to be a hint of dark cocoa. Fantastic!
The burn is sharp with a dark gray compact ash forming that holds strong. Mild strength smoke flows well through the perfect draw until about an inch in where it immediately tightens. I’ve had cigars get tighter while smoking before, however not this fast. I tap off the ash, clip off a little of the head, and the draw opens up perfectly allowing an abundance of the delicious smoke to flow effortlessly through. I can’t get over how rich and creamy smooth the smoke is, the flavors left on the palate after exhaling are fantastic.
Halfway and the temperature has dropped five degrees, now right at forty-five. My fingers are ice cold as I try to type, but type I must! The cigar is performing perfectly with sharp burn continuing and a compact, dark gray ash forming. A bit of spice starts to appear with the smoke transitioning from quite mild to almost a medium strength with the flavors continuing to be rich and creamy, the finish long on the palate. This is one good cigar!
Heading into the final third, spice tingles the nostrils as I exhale slowly through the nose. The strength seems to build ever so slightly more to a good medium strength and hitting the palate perfectly. I can’t say enough about the rich flavors of this smoke, toasted nut and a sweet vanilla most prominent. The finish is silky smooth and very lasting. I finished up this cigar and was sad to see it end as it was simply fantastic. Now to get back in and thaw out!!
