5x50 robusto
Wrapper, binder, and filler are all Nicaraguan
Construction: construction is good, solid and well packed, dense, but has a slight spongy character to it. the wrapper is nice, with some veining but nothing that stands out as problematic
Prelight: first draw after shaving off the cap has some pepper to it, also some grassy notes
First Third: first draws after torching have a nice woody flavor along with the expected peppery spice. there is also a hint of coffee and leather
Draw: is excellent
Burn: is slow and pretty even
Ash/Smoke: ash is solid salt and pepper, smoke is plentiful
Second Third: the flavors of oak, leather, and a hint of spice
Final third: ends with a kick of pepper and coffee
Strength: medium
Flavor: medium
Overall: I love these guys and smoke them regularly. I would recommend this stick to anyone interested in some of the regular production tats
