Growing too fast.
This was a fairly rough looking cigar (1994), actually had a slight bend in it with an oval shape in the foot. The medium brown wrapper was coarse with prominent veins and no oil to be seen. It was very firm when squeezed and a good weight in the hand. I punched the cap and found a fairly tight draw, however enough air flowed to hopefully get smoke through once it warmed up.
With the foot torched and burn even, I took a couple of puffs and then a long, even draw. A good black pepper spice hit the back of the throat in a perfect amount. Tastes of dark earth, old leather, and dark cocoa came through in the initial mild to medium bodied smoke. There was a good long, lasting finish that had what seemed to be an undertone of citrus. It didn’t take long for the smoke to turn to a good medium body once warmed up.
The cigar had a perfect burn with a mixture of dark gray and black in the ash that held strong until knocked off about every half-inch or so. There was noticeable tooth in the ash as well. The black pepper spice continued on through the half-way mark and dark flavors of earth and leather with hints of cocoa kept coming. I found a very good, long lasting finish on the palate.
Towards the end the body picked up slightly and the spice was still hitting really good. The finish was quite intense and lasted well after I put it down, delicious to my palate.
This was a very good cigar fitting my palate almost perfectly with perfect spice, medium body, and wonderful lasting flavors of earth, wood, cocoa, and a nice citrus quality. The burn was perfect throughout with a strong gray-black ash. I would definitely love to have a box of these smokes.
