My first Cocodrilo. Off to a promising start.
Post smoke thoughts: very nice cigar until the final 1.5-2 inches, where a strong minerality and grassiness took over. Might have been affected by the kids burning some leaves around that time, so I'll definitely be watching for that when I try another.
Edit again to add more details:
Cold draw: Light, clean, grassy, herbal.
First third: Light, cedar, herbal, earthy.
Second third: Moving to medium. Some pepper kicking in, especially on the retro; earth, leather, wood.
Final third: Wood, strong minerality, grassiness.
Construction, burn, draw were excellent. Burned a little fast.
Started out a light medium and got a little stronger with time but never strayed beyond medium.
Very nice cigar but a bit of a let down at the very end. My kids were burning leaves at that point though so that could definitely have had an effect. Also, I suspect it might be a little better in the Corona Gorda size.
