Re: Taste Test
I did the review at work , I have pics that I could upload later but here is the review.
I paired off this cigar with a pot containing a Brazilian,Tazmanian blend that I home roasted with a splash of Irish Cream creamer.
This stick sat 15 days in my coolidor that is kept at a 61 humidity.
Prelight this stick was firm 3 veins appearing on wrapper 1 was a thick juicy one. The prelight aroma was fantastic a lil musty but had a great smell indeed. Was a firm stick with a hollow part on one of the sides near last 1/4.
Upon Light I found this blend easy lighting with thick white smoke coming out. It was so smooth at first I couldn't believe there was that much smoke in my mouth. It was windy outside so I had fear that it may make a run. White ringed ash now big greyish white smoke. Something in this is teasing my full body pallet. Now I enjoy mild cigars medium etc but theres something growing in the flavors each drag that tickles my curiosity and eager anticipation. Mild to medium the first 1/4.
Big smokey draws into the half. still haven't had to ash yet and still firm. Ash fell off a little under the half. I do notice a small hollow spot inside the ash as i look straight down into the cherry in a side of it. Thinking what I could compare this taste to but nothing comes to mind. Nice mellow taste great mild light medium with hint of teasing spice.
Last 1/4 really developed into a flavor that was quite exotic that is quite pleasing to the pallet. Medium flavor,great smell. Hollow side is fine and still a great burn and is smoking great. Wrapper came undone in 1 area in last 1/4 but not bad enuff that it unravelelled . No repair work needed at all on this stick during burning it up to the nub. Clients at work enjoyed the aroma as I sat and enjoyed the stick just teasing their curiosity.
My final concensus on this stick was I loved the blend, burn and what not. it was a hair under my pallet wants tonight for a full body but as a mild light medium it was quite enjoyable and this version I would not change due to the fact its nice having certain sticks for certain times of cravings and wants and I find myself thinking i'd put this stick in rotation and I have some mild/medium friends that don't partake much but would enjoy the complexity and light smooth flavor of this stick. 1 thing I can say is some parts of the flavor stayed the same but other parts changed throughout the burn.
Thank you again for the chance to try this creation,keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot. appreciate the help. I will look into the bunching portion of my rolling to make sure the dead spots (hallow spaces) are minimized.
