General Notes

  • Initial cold draw
  • all I can taste is the sweet wrapper
  • after a few pulls it requires some touching up
  • Profile is dry
  • notes of wood hitting the outer edges of my tongue
  • especially on the sides and back
  • retrohale created a white pepper taste
  • Third of the way through and it loses the sweetness
  • Earthy notes near half way point… I've been smoking this too quickly
  • Getting notes of wood in the back of my mouth
  • Wood profile is stronger on each puff
  • After the half-way point the cigar seems bland… good clouds of smoke
  • even burn
  • but not as enjoyable as the first half
