I got this stick in a bomb from Coz77, and I figured I'd take advantage of the (relatively) warm weather to give it a try.
Humidor time: None (in mine, anyway)
Prelight: The Connecticut natural wrapper looks nice, with a double cap. Prelight draw is nice, very mild. The band is a simple black and silver/grey.
Burn: This cigar kept developing a slightly uneven burn (possibly due to wind) that I had to touch up a few times. Ash was nice and firm. I didn't really get to see how long it held on as I kept tapping it off to touch up the burn. Draw was easy, and the burn time was just under an hour.
Flavor: This cigar was a nice change from the maduros I've been smoking lately. It had a creamy, mocha taste to it, with a very slight vanilla aftertaste.
Summary: This was a great smoke. I almost burned my fingers, and I'll be picking up more of these for my humidor.
