Smoked my first of the 5. Its taken me a long time ot get to it but trust me im back on track.

Cigar 1 is a 6x54 Beli with what seems to be a Maduro wrapper on it. Pre-light draw is normal and full of tobacco.

First Impressions: Very dark yet not dyed. NICE! Nothing worse than brown lipstick after a dyed cigar.

One Quarter: Very spicy off the bat. Im thinking it was an Oliva V maddy at this point.

One Half: The spice goes away and is replaced with a sort of coacoa coffee flavor that is very slight. Picked up hints through my nose. No linger think its a Oliva V Maddy.

Three Quarters: The Spice kicks back in the final third. What others often call spice In this last 3rd I call it turning and usually try to purge the stick back into its 2/3 flavor. That only works for a few short minutes.

Final Thoughts: I really enjoyed this cigar when i usually dont like dark wrappers. Smoked it down to the final inch and went to bed happily numb.

Construction: 9/10
Flavor: 17/20
Ash/Burn: 4/5
Overall: 8.5/10 Id buy this again if for the right price.

What did I smoke Mark.

P.S. More pictures next go around
