It’s cloudy, breezy, and 50F on the back porch this morning, winter definitely on its way. The sun is peeking in and out of the clouds as it comes over the treeline, supposed to clear up a little and hit about 60 today. We’re taking Jess to a “punkin’ patch” today, pics to come later. 
I’m putting fire to a BTL received from Daniel (Dguterman), thanks again sir! The cigar has beautiful construction with the maduro and natural wrapper in a perfect spiral, smooth and oily with no prominent veins to be found. It’s very firm when squeezed and has a good weight in the hand. Believe it or not, I left my punch knife on the dresser in the bedroom and just don’t feel like getting it, so I clipped the cap, and put fire to the tapered foot.
The cigar came to life immediately with a good amount of medium strength smoke flowing through in the perfect draw. I get a mild to medium white pepper spice on the tongue and throat, hitting just right. Flavors are quite rich, a distinct taste of sweetened, dark cocoa and cedar wood with a bit of worn leather and roasted nuts. The finish is delicious upon exhale, however doesn’t last very long.
A third in, the burn is sharp and has been right from first lighting with a strong, dark gray ash forming. The smoke continues to be a medium strength, flowing well through the perfect draw, and flavors consistent with a sweet cocoa from the maduro wrapper and light toasted nuttiness from the natural, both intermingling together to make a perfect balance. The further in I get, the longer the finish is lasting, delicious on the palate.
Halfway and into the final third, the cigar performed perfectly with sharp burn, spot on draw, strength/flavors consistent to the end, and a delicious, lasting finish on the palate. Thoroughly enjoyable cigar with a cup of fresh brewed coffee. Many thanks to Daniel for sending such an excellent smoke!
