Growing too fast.
I received this cigar in a MAWPIF a little while back and have seen mixed comments about it, most stating they weren’t impressed. The cigar itself had good construction with a dark brown wrapper and a couple of noticeable veins. There was a decent weight in the hand and very little give when squeezed. I punched the pigtail cap and found the draw only slightly loose with only a light tobacco taste.
I torched the foot and plenty of smoke was produced and after a couple of puffs to get it going good, I took a good draw and was hit with a load of black pepper spice. There wasn’t much flavor in the smoke, only a very slight hint of woodiness. A little further in, the black pepper spice continued, and I could detect some leather, wood, and possibly a hint of vanilla.
Getting around the halfway point, the spice began to subside a bit and the flavors actually picked up and were fairly good with earth, leather, wood, and a hint of toasted nuts. It seemed I could detect a bit of cinnamon spice and vanilla. There wasn’t much finish to speak however, the aftertaste somewhat bland to my palate. Towards the end the spice almost disappeared altogether and the smoke became quite smooth with the same flavors previously mentioned.
This cigar started off not so good with just a lot of spice, however turned out a fairly decent smoke midway. The burn was good with a gray and black mottled ash that I knocked off every half inch or so. I’ll have to say that I too was not very impressed with this smoke.
