So I noticed something new in the B&M today, weather it is new or i have just never been in that corner I dont know. But it is a Kristoff Maduro. It has a very plain looking double label, but is a good looking stick. it has a curly head and a un trimed foot. It is a little nippy outside so I am smoking inside in front of the computer watching two brothers.

the first third has some coffee and coco notes to it, also it is holding ash very well. It has a nice smothe draw and straight burn with medium abouts of smoke. I am having a bit of egg nog to go along with it.

the second third is much like the first it is fairly creamy with out much spice.

the final third is going well it has turned in to a leathery earthy taste. the burn is not has not been straight for a while but it is burning evenly. Towards the end it became a little more bitter and I let it go out at 3/4in.

I would rate the flavor at 8.5
and construction at 9.6

Pic soon to follow.
