Palio Esencia LTD 2008 "Revisited"

Initial Draw Was Very Smooth & Easy With A Nice "Hickory" Flavor. Maybe A Touch Of Spice & Sweetness, No Pepper Detected, & Tons Of Thick White Smoke, Just Like I Like My Sticks!

Still Having Some Wrapper Issues & I Had To Relight 4 Times During The Smoke To Keep The Burn Going.

The Flavor Profile Stayed Pretty Much The Same Throughout. I Didn't Detect Any Cinnamon or Caramel in this Vitola like I Did In the Belicoso.
I Tried To Show The Thick Volume Of Smoke Here:

Middle & Last 1/3 Pics:

My Favorite Cutter & Lighter:

Total Duration Of Smoke: 1.5 Hours
I Wonder If These Sticks Would Benefit From A Longer Rest As I Read In Another Review. This Other Review Noted Some Wrapper Issues, Also, But That Can Happen With Any Cigar. Overall, The Cigar Had A Great Flavor Profile & The Only Issue I Had Was The Wrapper. Great Taste & Definitely Box Worthy! Thanks Again, Marc, For The Opportunity To Try This Vitola!
