This is a review I told Backslide I would do last night, I'm a day late I know, but I hope this makes up for it.
Let's just say this cigar isn't the prettiest cigars I've ever seen. It's sort of the ugly duckling of my CC draw, having pimply veins at the head and a imperfection riddled wrapper. I notice small soft spots around the second band, but most of the cigar is finely rolled with a slightly tapered foot, which I'm pretty sure isn't supposed to be like that.
On the prelight draw, I notice a distinct earth flavor with hints of dried fruit and chocolate.
The first draw I am immediately hit with a earthy tone, hard to pin point, but it's a deep flavor with hints of molasses. After the first couple of puffs, I'm also noticing a subtle hint of mocha on the finish. Smooth and crisp, the flavors appear immediately and quickly subside, leaving me the urge to take another draw to regain flavors that have disappeared.
Starting the second third, I notice a mocha like flavor with a bold coffee backing coating my tongue. I would like to acknowledge the plentiful amount of smoke this cigar is supplying. No need for touch ups at this point, a very consistent burn and even though I'm bullshitting heavily with the guys on the herf it's yet to go out on me.
The last third of this cigar the burn begins to wander a bit, but I quickly notice and touch it up with my favorite torch lighter. Huge volumes of smoke are still pouring out of this cigar, with a noticeable smoothness. I'm actually pretty surprised on the overall smoothness of this cigar, being released just over a year ago. No spice was mentionable throughout my smoking experience and after struggling like a idiot for a couple of minutes trying to get the bands off in one piece, I smoked this down to the nub, purging a couple times at the end trying to prolong my smoking experience.
Overall, I'd like to have a couple more. I don't know what the price point is, but I'm not sure if I'd buy a whole box, but definitely a 5er.
