cigar stats:
size:5"x50 robusto
wrapper:Nicaragua
binder:NA
filler:NA
PRE-LIGHT:
As far as presentation, this wins.You have two bands, a slip of cider, and a little ribbon at the bottom. I give it the 'ol squeeze, and it seems to be the same from cap to foot, a little give but not too much. I love it already.
THE SMOKE:
Kind of hard to get it lit properly. Took twice as long as expected, but I finally got it. I'm surprised to find that there is not really an ash taste starting this one out. The draw is very good, and as for the taste, I get a nice wood taste, some ceder and some of another wood I can't quite peg. It's also quite peppery, I assume this is from the wrapper, and a little creamy. The ash seems to be holding on tight, as I will later find it holds on pretty much till the end. The sign of a well made cigar, I suppose. As I get close to the 1/3 mark, I notice a very slight hint of liquorish, but it goes away. It's so faint, I'm questioning if I even tasted it. As it gets closer to 1/4 the wood taste starts to get a little more faint compared to the pepper that is getting more pronounced. Every now and then I find that liquorish taste. Though it's more obvious when I retro-hale. Once past the 1/4 mark the pepper and wood seems to flip, the wood from the middle till I put out the cigar. It progressively gets strong, as the pepper slowly gets lighter in taste, but make no mistake, through out the cigar they're both the main flavors you get. Although the amount does very through out the cigar, the flavor overall stays the same. Thats okay, because it's a very good flavor that I'm not getting tired of. As you can see, it was good enough that I nubbed this one til the smoke was too hot to taste good anymore.
OVERALL:
Don't buy one....
.....buy a whole bundle, at $2 a stick (when you get a bundle) it's an epic win. I would pay over twice that price for one of these if thats what they whent for. Very good cigar.
