Los Blancos Sumatra—6 X 52 Toro---Gift from Dustin (Bruzee)
I took some good photos of this then went and accidently deleted the file...Bummer!:mad:
Dark chocolatly look to it. no voids or soft spots to it. no visible flaws in wrapper or construction.
Prelight draw is great just enough resistance without getting too much. Typical Sumatra taste to it, mild, tasty.
Lights easily slight sweet taste to smoke, with a pronounced creaminess to it.
Very easy to retro-hale whole mouthful of smoke. Very cool smoker from first to last.
Large amounts of smoke with hints of coffee, cocoa, toasted nuts. I love large amounts of smoke!
Ashed at 1” to keep it from going into my lap. Very long finish of flavor in mouth.
Burn is slightly inconsistent but tends to self correct.
Ash is a dark grey holding on past 1”.
2” left and still very nice Sumatra sweetness and flavor. Also a good amount of toasted nuts.
I recommend to ash at ½“ as any more ash the flavors tend to become muted.
Cocoa tends to build toward the end.
Thanks Dustin.
