1st 1/3
Sweet tobacco, spice, woody taste, hint of cherry and a hard draw because of the tapered cone foot.
Opening up in the draw now.....
I'm still trying to figure out if I like the cameroon wrapper but I know I love the maduro more, stick is a mild one to me.

2nd 1/3
A pleasant relaxed smoke, leather with a hint of pepper and into the 2nd 1/3 syrup and caramel sweetness

Last 1/3
No flavor change but I had to hunt a bit for the notes, slowing down the draws to keep it cool and not go bitter.
Creamy flavor experience that should appeal to many smokes
Smoke time 1hr 20 min
Score 8 out of 10

This is one of my favorite cigars. I love the leathery, caramel-y flavors, and the excellent construction. Just a great cigar. Excellent review! :tu

Very nice stick. This is one of the only Cameroon wrapped cigars that I like.
Nice Review.

Yea I don't know what it is about the cameroon wrapper that I don't like either in most cameroon wrapped cigars also.

You had me at Hemingway, what :confused:

It's a reference from the movie, Jerry Maguire. Sports agent Jerry (Tom Cruise) finds out that he really does dig the girl he screwed over and goes back to her house to hopefully win the girl back. She is having a man-hater party with the girls and he walks in and says, "Hello", then states how he digs her and needs her. After going on for a long time, she replies, "You had me at hello" and they dive into each others arms and are happy. So I referenced the movie, since I dig the Hemingway line, "You had me at Hemingway".

Sorry for the odd reference. I will go punch my man card now.

I actually got the Jerry McGuire reference. The Hemingway short stories are a favorite of mine. I will have to keep an eye out for some of these. Great review. Thanks.
