Quick stats:
-Entirely Nicaraguan
-5 5/8 x 46
-9 bucks at the local shop
-smoked in about an hour and ten min
I smoked this last Saturday while reading and drinking a ginger ale. It started off very smokey, not in a bad way but full of great grey smoke. For the first third I noticed nice leathery notes. The second third maintained the leather, but that mellowed a bit and I got hints of earth and lite spice. During this third it canoed pretty badly, but I corrected this after an inch when I tapped the ash. The last third burned a little faster, and the spice flavors became more prominent. As I was getting down to the nub, it canoed again, but I let it go as I was headed back inside again. I had recently been smoking milder cigars, and was hit pretty well with the amount of vitamin N this cigar had.
Overall- disappointed with the canoeing, but I would smoke another one if someone else bought it. 8 of 10 on my (admittedly younger cigar palette) scale.
