Cigar #4
Construction: 7x56-58, dark brown, very thin wrapper. When I received this stick, the wrapper was already starting to flake off at band and the foot.
Pre-light: smooth draw, very bland
1st third: Typical maduro flavors along with a bit of a minty flavor as well. Later on I detected some old black coffee flavors.
2nd third: Old coffee and nuttiness are strong. Some earthiness is detectable as well.
Final third: Similar to the second third. I put it out with about an inch and a quarter to go.
Final Thoughts: This cigar wasn't bad, but I wouldn't put it on my go to list by any means. Wasn't my thing. I know that there are two Gurkhas in this bunch, and I would guess that this is one of them. I may have been a bit biased against this cigar before I lit it up, as I'm not a fan of churchill length cigars, not to mention I didn't like the looks of the wrapper when I picked it up. So I may have been going into this review with a bad attitude toward it.
