I think I picked this out of Shadow's Made in Honduras pass.
Talk about kicing my butt.......  :0

I allowed the Mrs to pick me out a smoke tonight and she brings me this beautiful looking cigar. Smooth and silky wrapper...... the large ring gauge almost didn't fit in my swiss army cutter. After toasting the foot I took a deep draw and received a mouth full of smoke right away. No need to pre puff this baby...... through out the first 1/3 of this smoke it had a great draw with plenty of smoke. The taste was uneventful at first..... a little nutty, a little harsh, but the volume of smoke kept me interested. As I approached the halfway mark..... Boom! The power of this cigar took over. I felt a little light headed and had to chase each draw with something to drink. After passing the halfway point the cigar had some trouble staying lit. It was more likely that I slowed down in smoking this baby as I was really reeling. I was expecting this smoke to smooth out and kept lighting it only to have the room commence to spin each time. This stick kept me coming back like a crackhead to his pipe. I could only manage 2 puffs at a time and would have to rest. I made it to just under 1/4 of this stick and finally gave up the fight. It had with out a doubt kicked my butt. Wowza!

I can't say that this smoke had any outstanding flavors to describe. A little nutty at time but the large volumes of smoke and power of this thing kept me in it. I would think some sleeping time would help smooth some of the edges but not sure if that would be a good thing here. The power was why I kept smoking it.

I wouldn't recommend this for new smokers nor on an empty stomach. It was one slap up against the head cigar!   :)
 
I guess I have to attach warning labels on some of the cigars I send out for now on. ;)

Kenny, it sounds like you got one that was a little on the young side. When these get some age on them (six months or so) the harshness disappears and the nutty flavor as you call it comes through. Also a little bit of the power dies off, just enough so you don't feel like death warmed-over after smoking it. :D
