BAM! Black Pearl cobre

[bunn163A]

I picked up this stick in a sampler from somewhere it is also known as copper due to the color of the back of the bands.After puching and lighting I found the begining of this to be mellow and tasty with a nice light spice and a sweetness that was very good.The construction and burn were without flaw, the ash was light and firm I knocked it off after 2 or so inches.The 2nd 3rd is where this really took off it changed to a real woody taste for awhile,still with the sweet and spicyness in there.then on to an earthy wet leather and then i swear i could taste cashews with a nice light spice.There is a hell of alot going on here for four bucks! I would higly reccomend giving this one a try 9/10 in my book.there was a funky area in the last third i could have done without but all in all very enjoyable.Of course taste is subjective.... Anyone else ever try this stick?

I smoked these when I first started, and enjoyed them, especially the spice.
But I aged a few sticks for a year and tried them again, and they lost all of
the spice that I enjoyed. Perhaps the spice that I liked was a lack of aging,
giving the cigar a bite/spice that tasted good to me, but the aged ones don't
do much for me, anymore. Maybe if I want a lighter, mellow smoke they'd
be ok.
