    Hello BOTL!

    This will be my first review in over 6 years. I must review this wonderful smoke. I apologize in advance for the lack of photos. I may add photos and edit this review after I smoke *just one more* of these beauties.

    Prelight: First off this smoke has a smooth beautiful light reddish, light brown Equador-Habano wrapper. Very small and hardly visible veins. The wrapper feels like short stiff suede. A sniff of the foot reveals a sweet smell that reminds me of black cherry and cinnamon with light tobacco. The cold draw had the same flavors multiplied with a citrus vibe. I could tell this was going to be a treat. The band is gorgeous.




    Light: Easy

    1st 3rd:

    This smoke starts out with a surprise as it is stronger than I expected on the initial light, however, this mini-explosion of red-hot-cinnamon-candies and ever-so-slight spice mellowed out after a few puffs and retained a toned down sweet cinnamon and black cherry flavor. I love the feel and taste of the wrapper as I am tasting a subtle sweetness from the wrapper. Enjoying coffee and taking notes here in my local shop's lounge watching the big screen and meeting a few new people. The ending of the first third is smoothing out nicely with a fruity flavor. Nice smoke. Not harsh and not too strong. I call this a light-medium.

    2nd 3rd:

    I was just asked to play some dominoes. Let's do this. Don't worry, I remember this smoke. Ok brothers let me say this as I reach the half-way point: "Creamy, Smooth, Citrus, Faint Almonds". Very nice. It has just enough tobacco kick to compliment the flavors. This 3rd has cinnamon, citrus, mild cocoa. So smooth. I think I taste a floral vibe. Moving on...

    3rd 3rd:

    I already want another. The flavors stay consistent and smooth with citrus, black cherry, light almonds and cinnamon. The cocoa picks up a tad and this smoke rounds out very well. Damn good smoke in my opinion. Burnt my fingers and played some dominoes.

    Overall:

    A very flavorful, smooth and beautiful smoke. If this smoke was a little cheaper I would cast a vote for a go-to smoke when I'm in the mood for a smooth, mild-medium smoke that would go with morning coffee or evening scotch.
