First Third
At first impression it's kind of spicy but mellowed quickly after light. Rich tobacco flavor, no retrohale burn. Some coffee type notes coming through. Went out 2 times in this third. I used an allen wrench to ream it through a plug.:smiley6:

Ash: Grey brown color and did not hold on very good because of the troubles with the plug.

Second Third:
More mellow now, but spiciness remains. Still some coffee flavors coming through. Rich nutty tobacco flavor too. Generous amounts of smoke with this one. Burning a little uneven now. Went out again- have been cutting stained glass so I think I let it go for too long.

Third third:
Exhibiting a little more spiciness again on the tongue. Good flavor. Same as before. I consider this a medium - full smoke.
Rating from 1-100. I give it a 70 mostly due to the troubles with the cigar, but it was a quality tasting cigar in my book. Roger.
