Cigar #5
Construction: 5.5x58 light brown wrapper (I assume it's a Connecticut Shade), very solid
Prelight: Tastes like dry hay and has a barnyard aroma
I normally break my reviews down into thirds, but I'm doing it in two halves this time, as I didn't have anything to write down my thoughts while smoking. I smoked this one while watching my son's first scrimmage game.
1st half: Very complex. I detected sweetness, butter, caramel, confectioner's sugar, and honey. Near the end of the first half I detected nutty flavors.
2nd half: The second half was very nutty with hints of butter. Very creamy and smooth.
Final Thoughts: I liked this cigar. It wasn't nearly as mild as I predicted. Very enjoyable, but I wish I had smoked it early in the morning rather than in the afternoon. This stick would have paired well with coffee (with cream and sugar).
