$9. - $10. retail
6.0" x 54
Prelight: Sweet hay, citrus
1st 1/3
Sweet champa incense, very light pepper, spice, earth, coffee flavors, great draw
I can tell this cigar needs to be smoked slow to not go bitter and peppery
A little bit of cannoning, dry deep cocoa happening, incense never returns
Dry wood dominates here, not a sweet cigar but after a Anejo I'm spoiled
2nd 1/3
Old leather and whiskey sour now and dry wood
Flavors just not coming together here
Final 1/3
Same as above but the bitter pepper comes on and I hate pepper
At $9 a stick I was disappointed, I was expecting more.
After the start with the spicy finish, there wasn’t much to it
Smoke time: 55 mins
Score 6 out of 10
