Okay; true to my word, I gave this cigar another try tonight.

Pre-light, powerful and fresh, notes of wood and spice. Very yummy smells.

This one was not offensive like the last one; no bitterness and no off-flavors. But still, smoking this was close to a chore; all pepper, no complexity whatsoever. About the two-thirds mark I let it die out.

Arguably, this is still a very fresh stick. I got a lot of rawness from it, a lot of burning sensations through the nose even though I was careful not to hotbox it. I would venture a guess that this is a cigar which will age handsomely and pay off down the line for someone who is patient.

That won't be me.
