What a Beautiful cigar, construction appears very solid, beautiful wrapper. Clipped the end easily, nice clean cut. Pre-light draw was perfect, taste is slightly Opus, slight chocolate flavor, but it's surprisingly light, maybe it's the age of the tobacco? Drink of the evening was RZ 23, on ice, it was 85 outside today!
This beauty lit very nicely, 1st tastes were of pepper and wood, very pleasant, very smooth, creamy. Lots of smoke, drew like a dream, didn't have to get it hot to get lots of smoke! Aroma was wonderful, chocolate / tobacco / cedar, like walking into a tobacco shop when they've been cooking chocolate!
Early on, got some slight fruity / sweet type flavor, can't describe it well enough. Had to do a slight touch up about 15 min into this smoke, might have corrected itself, but i didn't wanna let it potentially run.
Ash was very white, and very flaky, didn't ever get any length. About 25 minutes into it, the Opus taste came on strong, nice chocolate taste w/ a slight molasses flavor, very tasty, and stayed until the last 1.5". Some tastes i was able to identify were leather, cedar, cream, and a slight fruity sweetness. This is a very complex cigar, lots of flavors i could not identify, flavor powerhouse.
This smoke lasted 1 hr. 45 minutes, and it was bliss the whole time. This could be the best i've ever smoked, it's like Opus on steroids, and worth every penny, in fact, i'll go buy a few more. Get over the price, and grab some of these while you can, this is a world class smoke, IMO.
Here's a few pics!
