Where have all my reviews been? I have been taking a sort of "walkabout" in the cigar culture (off the map if you will) in the past half-a-year and branching out and exploring new things. Reading more, becoming more educated, and having a blast while doing so.
The cigar was very impressive for the pricepoint. I believe the cigar to be a medium body from its website description and maybe it was. But, the flavors were extremely robust and distinct. The sungrown wrapper must have made for this bountiful taste impact.
The unlit foot smelled like most nicaraguans i smoke and had a very strong aroma consisting of chocolate and cacoa. The draw was what must would consider to be "perfect" or "right in the middle, not too tight, not too loose". I like most of my cigars to draw a little "looser" than average but in no way was the draw impeded.
The first third of the cigar was very spice-driven. I cant help but re-iterate that I read somewhere that it was a med-bodied cigar but the flavor profile was robust and in your face... just how i like it.

The cigar erupted with a constant cloud of thick smoke companied by its rich flavor. No real burn issues though i am a stickler when it comes to touch ups. Burned very well with a few bits here and there..
The second 3rd really exhibited the original spice but with a cedary and at time leathery undertone on the finish. The more I let the smoke dance on my tongue the more subtle notes i noticed. Snorked it a few times but didn't get much from that. Ther cigar isn't too terribly complex because the rich spiceyness never got less dominant.

The end result is a good cigar at a great price point with no real burn issues, a good solid draw, and an extremely healthy flavor that makes for a good relaxing smoke after work. Very spicey, somewhat leathery, i'd buy one againwithout a moment's hesitation.
The sungrown wrapper must be what will keep me coming back for more.
