Light: Medium effort to toast. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: Spicy. I sense a hint of chocolate. Slight salty flavor. Oily, lots of stuff going on here. I'd say medium body at this point. There's something else on the draw... a green, not aged flavor. Hard to describe.

Ash: Crisp white. Tiny black specks. Solid out to 1 1/2"

2nd 3rd: Chocolate, oil. Medium to full body now. Spice has mellowed, but still there. Basically the same flavor profile, but a little more mellow.

3rd 3rd: More heavy body now. Spice is gone. Oily chocolate hints. Minty green taste. It gets harsh towards the end

Overall impression: Very good for the price. I think I should let these age in the humi for a while though. Good potential. Score: Solid mid 80's

Dammit, someone will respond to this review!!!! :smiley36:

I just thought about genuflecting on this cigar, and reading through, it's pretty consistent with the way I described it last year, except for that "green" flavor I noted. That's gone now, and this is just a really good cigar.

I am digging the music. I have a few famous 6000 Nic Toros. They are a decent yard gar I guess.
I am sure mine need some resting time though. Plus mine are natural and not maduro.
The stick looks and sounds good Will. Thanks for the review..

Since May of '09, the cigar has improved and Queenryche's Greatest Hits are just as, um, great. :smiley4:

Chocolaty goodness strikes again!

I had the same cigar in a toro size the other night. The draw was a bit loose for me, but overall enjoyable.

I pulled out one of these in the robusto vitola from early 08 to smoke. Dang thing pretty much exploded on me.:smiley13:
