Xikar HC Series Habano Colorado Toro Cigar Review
 
http://cigarobsession.com/wp-content...8xhchc0002.jpg

This 6.5×52 stick offers a dark chocolate wrapper with a firm pack and satin feel. Minimal veins, invisible seams and a peppery cocoa aroma present with a fairly dense heft. The first third starts off on the smooth side, with a touch of aged tobacco taste and richness. The smoke is rich and plentiful with a medium body and soft flavors of slightly sweet earthy tobacco with a big pepper kick. The finish is very long with the black pepper flavors building adding a zing over the tongue. Half way in at the 1:30 min mark, flavors had mellowed out a bit with the pepper coming and going at points. The sweetness had begun to change to a caramel, and the core flavor turned to a soft leather. By the last third, the pepper came back but not quite as strong, and the caramel died down a touch. Total burn time to the nub was 1:50. Video on the site.

the. Only problem I had with these cigars is the couple I smoked had a very very tight draw which isn't too big of a problem but what my b&m wants for them I can get something I prefer so that's really the only issue I have had with them

I smoked it today, but it was a torp. I didn't care for it at all. I tried to like it as it was gorgeous and smelled great. I didn't like the flavor profile and ended up chunking it with a couple of inches left. YMMV
