Growing too fast.
I received this beauty as a gift a couple of weeks ago (thank you ccsmoker) and decided I would relax after work this evening and try it out. This was a nice robusto size 5 x 48 with noticeable oils on the slightly coarse colorado wrapper. I found the cigar very firm, especially around the cap area, which gave me concern to possible draw issues. Looking at the foot I could see the filler to be very tight. I punched the multiple cap head with the largest ring on my SA knife, and the draw was a bit overly tight. However, I was able to get some draw out of it and hoped once it warmed up it would open a little more.
I toasted the foot and lit the cigar and immediately got the delicious taste of sweet, dark earth and old leather. Although the draw was quite tight, smoke still flowed through quite well. What a smooth, velvety textured smoke with dark roasted nuts, sweet toffee and cocoa. About ¼ of the way the draw opened up perfectly giving way to a medium strength with perfect body, exquisitely well balanced. A dark gray ash formed and the burn was absolutely perfect. Somewhere at the halfway point, I did get a hint of a tannic taste in a couple of draws, possibly due to the cigar still being a bit young yet. Fantastic cigar from beginning to end! I’m such a Boliwhore.
