$4. Cigarbid, retail $7.
Pre-light sweet tobacco, ceder

1st 1/3 Sweet and soft take-off, earthy core, chocolate taste and for the first time tasted a sour citrus component, hmm
There's this one guy on youtube (Tim Rollins) and all he taste is citrus notes (yea sure)
Great construction and straight burn, excellent draw, love it.
Creamy soft smoke but dry medium plus-body.
Ash holding on better then any cigar I've had

2nd 1/3
Flavors staying the same with a touch of ashy incense and hay coming on also light mineral undertone as well.
No big buzz requiring a meal beforehand.
Burn staying sharp with no need of maintenance

Last 1/3
Slow burner, runs cool and that's great too.
Espresso coming on and the cocoa flavors shift to a hint of dark chocolate with the unwanted pepper zing. (me not like pepper :D )
Some interesting fruity berry there too, a rare surprising treat
A complex smoke that requires to slow down and focus, not a golf cigar where interest swings.
For the money a great cigar, not my top "Magnificent 7" but well worth a try.
Burn time 1 hour 15 min 7 out of 10
