Smoked one tonight. ( My only courtesy of Tommyrox from the lottery.)
It was one damned pretty smoke. Beautiful wrapper, Perfect appearance, rich spicy prelight scent. It lit easily, and produced bountiful smoke. It began with a perfect burn , though it became erratic and had to be repaired with the torch once. It was very sweet, creamy, and mild. At half point a bit of pepper jumped out and bit me as a surprise, but went away. This cigar smoked very well to the very end after the one fix. It never got a bit harsh or hot, though was a bit wet in the final inch or so.
It was a very elegant looking smoke, and I was smoking it with a Heinekin. I think with a White Zin, or Congnac it would have been better to bolster the sweet undertone.
All in all I just finished searching the web to see where I can get a few to keep for a time I want a very enjoyable mild smoke. I tend towards the heavies, so this was a real " changeup" for me.
I think it is now my favorite mild. I wont write home about it......since I prefer a stronger taste profile, but its construction was excellent, its burn good save for the brief inconsistency, and for a mild smoke was right tastsy.
heh Just another input in the pot!
