Enjoying a Kentucky Fire Cured during the first tailgate of the year at Olde Queens Island for the Rutgers Spring Game. As usual we started at 3 AM. Scotch (Balvenie 14) and Cigars were at 0600.
Very nice flavor to the stick with a smoky, woodsy flavor to start. It was not harsh or bitter at all. Some tanginess starts to develop at the end of the first third. Through the second third the tanginess continued with a woodiness. During this point, the different flavors blend a bit and actually wind up being quite enjoyable for me. As you get into the final third of the stick, the tanginess begins to soften and ultimately disappears. The smoky, woody, earthy, and sweet tobacco notes remain to the end.
All in all, I would say this was a nice, relaxing stick to enjoy while watching Indiana Jones (in the background).
