Wow. That's a kick in the face. But a good one... fetish?.... maybe. I'll be brief and post initial thoughts, because I've only smoked one, and I usually wait until I smoke at least 3 to review. Anyway, I was impressed with the first one.
Well contstructed, dark, well packed -- not too stiff, not too spongy. Strong, full-bodied. Thick smoke, even burn, smooth draw. Potent is just a great word for this cigar. The Nicaraguan spiciness and richness really comes through in volume. Excellent tobacco/spice/earthy flavor. Admittedly, I think the cigar is sort of one dimensional in its flavor throughout the stick. Kazaid boasts about its complexity -- I really didn't get that during the first torpedo. Suprisingly, it didn't get bitter and didn't "bite" (coughing/nasal burn feeling) as hard as... per se... the Camacho Triple Maduro, which I also enjoy.
Overall, great smoke, but I'd really recommend drinking a sugary soda while smoking.
Some family I have over for the holidays commented that the garage smelled "like a damn tabacco farm".
