    Cohiba Black Pequenos ~ Short Panatela



    Hello BOTL! I'm in the mood to do a review. I hope to find you in good spirits. Let's smoke!

    Date: 9-13-2016
    Drink: Yuengling Light Lager
    Activities: Smoking
    Location: Porch
    Music: CCR - Green River

    Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
    Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf
    Filler: Dominican (Piloto Cubana)
    Vitola: Short Panatela 4.1"x36
    Draw: Tight
    Burn: Good
    Ash: 3/4" - 1"
    Price: Tin of 6: $12.00 - $18.00 YMMV
    Prices checked at neptunecigars.com and cigarsinternational.com

    Appearance: This cigar looks, well, black. Rugged. I can picture Clint Eastwood horseback with this one. Looks well constructed.

    Prelight sniff: pungent, earthy

    1st third: Tight draw. Pungent earthy flavor.

    2nd third: Getting smoother. Same basic flavor as 1st third. Rich. Tangy. Ever so faint sweetness.

    3rd third: I pick up "some"spice.
    There are flavors that I can't pick up on. Third verse, same as the second add a little black pepper.



    Overall:

    This smoke may not suit some folks because of the bitter and pungent richness that quickly becomes a film in your mouth.

    When all is said and done, I will have to try a few more to decide if I would stock these. It's different. I find it a one dimensional cigar. It's described as complex elsewhere. Go figure.

    Edit:

    There is a "metallic" flavor that permeates through the entire smoke that I personally do not care for. It took me a while to pin this metallic flavor down. I will try a few more and re-visit this smoke.

    Toro Toro!
