Livin the dream
PRE-SMOKE
- Boss gave me this stick 2 years ago and I just took it out of my Aristocrat at 65 humidity
- Cigar is in perfect shape with nice dark and brown wrapper
- Smells fantastic and pairing it with a cup of Tanzania Peaberry
- Lit with Xikar evenly around foot with little direct flame
FIRST 3RD
- First impressions were wow...a lot of smoke without a lot of draw
- Flavor was a great mix of chocolate and coffee with a little spice
- Quickly reminded me of a Boli Beli Fino and very smooth
- A little over an inch of ash before falling off
SECOND 3RD
- As I was singing happy birthday to myself, the cigar relaxed a bit more and was very milk chocolate like...silky comes to mind but not sure those words make sense
- Still a lot of smoke with very little effort; I'm loving this bad boy
- I don't note a lot of earthy tones
- Finished my coffee and opened up a Bud Light....St. Louis style [emoji1]
FINALE
- Flavor hasn't changed a bit; no harshness present
- Excellent draw, still chocolate flavored with some creaminess and hint of cherry or what I perceive to be cherry
- I smoked it until I couldn't smoke it any more
FINAL THOUGHTS
I absolutely loved this cigar. It was worth every cent that my boss paid for it and more [emoji1] According to my taste palate, it was a top 5 cigar. I'm not sure I would be interested in spending $30 a stick but for the right occasion...hell yes. For me, I think the BBF is right there with the 80 year Padron but at a much better price point if you are smoking regularly.
This was my first review so hope it was helpful and appreciate all comments and feedback. Clint.
