Default Re: Blind ten spot review Part Two

Cigar #3



Construction: 6x49 dark brown, very blotchy wrapper

Pre-light: Smooth draw. Cedar and oak flavors detectable.

1st Third: Nutty and spicy are the first flavors detectable. Very harsh through the nose. Cedar flavor is strong as well. I am also detecting somewhat of a mint flavor that pairs well with the cedar.

2nd Third: Nuttiness comes back to the forefront with a slight bit of coffee flavor as well. Cedar returns at the end of the 2nd third.

Final Third: I smoked this cigar for two hours and never made it to the final third. I had to put it out in order to make it to work on time.

Final Thoughts: I'm not usually a fan of strong cedar flavors in a cigar, but the dark wrapper brought other flavors that paired well with the cedar. I liked it!
