Prelight: Sweet cedar, hay, sweet leather

1st 1/3
I like to light cigars when there wrapped in cedar with the cedar wrapping to cut down any influence with a lighter when possible.

Creamy start, spice sandalwood essence in the aroma, mild pepper notes

Cigar reminds me a lot of the Arturo Fuente Aņejo minus the cognac but a hell of a lot cheaper.

Little burnt sugar and toasty flavors follow, perfect burn line and draw, ash holds on for 1 1/2"

2nd 1/3
Nice cocoa flavors along with the burnt sugar and leather, bitter dark chocolate, nutty almonds, some espresso, interesting how a cigar comes alive here over the 1st 1/3 more often.

Final 1/3
Added toasty barbecue flavors and maybe a little smoked hickory and sweet smooth rum notes.

Overall, I think this is an enjoyable cigar, medium body, plenty of flavor.

However I would recommend giving this stick some time in the humidor to improve this great cigar.

Smoke time 1hr 30 min
Score 8.8 out of 10

Good review. Actually started smoking cigars with a box of the naturals.

Thanks.

Good review and one of the non-maduro sticks I really enjoy. Actually started smoking cigars with a box of these.

Thanks.

It has a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper and it' not maduro?
Thanks

Oops, sorry. Missed the maduro part. Got ahead of myself. Was referring to the natural. Fixed in the original.

My apologies.

I like the maduro's too, just the naturals bring back a lot of cool memories. Kinda got ahead of myself.
