Out of Wrapper - Upon further inspection, I was stunned by the foil band, but the milk chocolate, silky-smooth oily wrapper caught my attention too. I sniffed the entire length of the cigar to reveal an outlandishly sugary, almost Wrigley Spearmint-like sweetness, yes you read that right. At this point I'm confused as if I should actually chaw a piece of the 'gar off and enjoy it like Red Man Golden Blend, or continue onwards with a lava-piercing flame to spark it up.
After The Punch - I took a few puffs on the dry cigar to find it is has a medium draw with a tingly sensation that is left on my lips, this might be interesting!
Initial Puff - My palate was greeted with an interesting blend of spices, woody/toasty notes, with a chocolaty/coffee twang finish reminding me of the Padron 2000.
First 2 inches - The flavors seemed to shift over and over again, between a creamy vanilla latte sweetness to hints of wood, with a really clean finish after exhalation, simply delicious! Burn was even and top notch.
The first(and last) 1/3 - After awhile the cigar lost it's glory, and my interest. The flavors that once shifted back and forth eventually succumbed to just a woody note, I thought about letting it die, but I hate to waste a cigar, so I decided to stick with it for a little longer. I fought with it for ten more minutes before finally putting it to rest, the cigar left me with an almost kerosene taste at the end.
Final Thoughts and Conclusion -
The first two inches were mesmerizing and decadent, eventually it shot straight down into the bowels of Hell, and I find myself asking, "What happened?!?" If the stick was bad or not, I will never know, but I do know that I wouldn't find myself smoking one of these again unless the cigar stayed as promising as it's entrance was.
I was reading other reviews that stated this stick as the next Opus X, *chuckles* I've never had an Opus before(would die to try), so I can't stake the claim truthfully, but after what I've been through, I seriously doubt that, sorry, I'm a non-believer.
