OK! Here goes:

Appearance - 12/15
Kind of rough exterior. Good curl to the left. Scent = very little

Ash - 8/10
Relatively sturdy/some flakiness. Darker gray color. Nice lines showing good burn rate.

Draw - 10 / 10
PL = cedar notes and good draw. 1/3 = smooth draw. rest = Never got too tight or too loose.

Burn - 8 / 10
Went out on me once. I blame the cold!

Smoke - 8 / 10
Good amount of thick smoke

Flavor/Blend - 17 / 20
first 1/3 = FP is peppery. Smooths out with a couple more draws. Leathery & almost chewy smoke on the draw. VERY light post puff flavor left on palate.
2nd 1/3 = FP is Grassy earthy profile. Still a great draw. Spice/Bite picks back up slightly near end of third
3rd 1/3 = Dry Woodsy flavors and grassy tones. Strong cedar and...Mollases??

Uniqueness - 7 / 10

Finish - 14 / 15
Finish becomes slightly hot. Buy the smoke gets thick and chewy! Band removal leaves the cigar getting slightly harsh past that point.

Final Score: 84
Final thoughts: Good smooth smoke. SLIGHT bite to start. Smooth the rest of the way and relatively similar in profile to the end. Burn & construction = perfect!
