So after reading some positive stuff about these on here i gave them another shot. I bought 2 singles in toro a few months back..
I tried one fresh and it was plugged up so bad i threw 3/4 of the stick away. Havent really been in the mood for anything that dark really (im mild-medium guy)
So tonight i was fealling adventerous and the weather was co-operating so i put fire to the second one. 6 months later im much more impressed with the flavor and burn.
The light was spicy but the cigar quickly settled into a dark earthy blend with a mild spicy finish , mostly in the back of the throat.
1/3 stayed like this with a hint of nuttines.
2/3 spice picked up a little and i got some verrry dark earthy notes with a long finish. I did need to clip some off and relight it due to some burn issues , might have been the -20c weather..
3/3 Earthiness dropped off slightly and i got more nuttiness and slightly less spice. The strength of the cigar was starting to get the better of me but i managed to finish it off.
All in all it was a good smoke. If you like dark earthy flavors with a long spicy finish then this is definately the cigar for you. Typically im not a fan of stronger heavier cigars like this. I did enjoy the earthiness but the strength was a bit too much for my noobiness. Sorry but no pics tonight.
