Slavac Cigar #7
*************
Cigar: Mystery Cigar 7
Setting: Back deck on a 45 deg night.
Drink: Fullers ESB
Initial Impressions: The cigar is well constructed and the wrapper feels smooth. There are very few visible veins, though cigar feels a bit spongy to the touch.
Cut and pre-light draw: Cut easily using my Xixar multi-tool. Draw was light/medium and smoothe. It was very windy out, so the pictures are likely not indicative of the true burn line of the cigar.
Draw after lighting: Remained smooth, not too loose with no plugs developing.
First Third: After just a few puffs I could only conclude that this cigar is a CC. It has the normal CC taste I've come to learn. There is just a touch of pepper on the tongue.
1/3
Second Third: Flavor remained the same. not anything to write home about, but still lovely.
2/3 with the new outdoor heater Amy got us.
Third Third: No flavor change with this cigar at all. Developed a bit of tar flavor toward the end of 2/3 which remained throughout.
Final Impressions: While this cigar was good, it never knocked my socks off.
Would I buy again: Perhaps, depending on price point.
Would I smoke again: Possibly.
Overall Rating With 10 the highest possible and 0 the baseline: 8.0
Final Thoughts: I'm interested in seeing what this one is.
