Quote:
ashauler: nice tobacco taste.
Quote:
badwhale: spicy on the prelight cut taste.
Quote:
buzz: a little spice, some cedar wood, and maybe some leather.
Quote:
cigarsarge: sweet tobacco... I guess that is typical of the wrapper.
Quote:
cyris: prelght smell was nice. Mild prelight taste, i want to say almost grassy?
Quote:
daigz: tasted a little bitter before i lit it. Wasn't overpowering but i could tell there was a slightly bitter taste.
Quote:
diesel grinch: nice, no real bite to it.
Quote:
eville: nothing to speak of.
Quote:
logan37: oaky with a slight bite.
Quote:
mangyrat: kind of leathery with a hint of sweetness.
Quote:
ndv21: light tobacco taste, no spice.
Quote:
prophetic_joe: nice earthy taste, a bit of sweetness to it, smell of most leaves and grassy a little.
Quote:
steele: not much prelight taste.
Quote:
tdre977: prelight has a very subtle taste that i can’t quite place.
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (1/3):
Quote:
abyr: smooth, medium bodied, kinda sweet.
Quote:
ashauler: i smoke these fairly often, and have been for a couple of years. The start is usually a little unbalanced between the spice and darker flavors... Almost a little bit bitter. This one is no different.
Quote:
badwhale: spicy, oil & woodsy. The spice lingers on the aftertaste, but i'll give this one more time. Had a sideways burn that required a touch up. Wrapper charred a dark green, and then turned gray.
Quote:
buzz: non-cedar wood taste with some spice and maybe leather.
Quote:
cigarsarge: the cigar clipped and lit well. My initial taste reminded me of cashew nuts. Also hints of coffee like flavors.
Quote:
cyris: nice start to the cigar. The draw is a little more firm then i like them, but not too difficult to smoke. Speaking of smoke, puffs are starting off with nice billowing clouds. The flavor is lighter then i remember from the first one of these that i had, but it is enjoyable. Not much spice, little bit sweet.
Quote:
daigz: the first third of this smoke was tight and didn't smoke too well. I don't like to have to really work for a good amount of smoke. The taste was ok but there was a little bit of bitterness in the aftertaste.
Quote:
diesel grinch: first part was fine. The tobacco tasted nice and it was an enjoyable smoke around friends.
Quote:
eville: started off with a good deal of leather.
Quote:
logan37: this cigar started off with a pretty nice spice to it. The flavor was nutty with an earthy finish.
Quote:
mangyrat: pepper kicked in, in a good way right away. I get a hint of what i want to call maple syrup.
Quote:
mizicke5273: coco taste with slight hint of leather. A very good smoke producer.
Quote:
ndv21: very easy smoke. Somewhat leathery. Almost no spice. A little heavy through nose exhale.
Quote:
prophetic_joe: nice smooth start, good smoke at first getting a bit harder to draw as it went on. Sweet maduro flavor with some woody notes. Really enjoying it at this point and excited to see where it goes.
Quote:
steele: woodsy taste right at the start maybe a little sweet in there. Ash was very tight but the draw was very good. Nice even burn.
Quote:
tdre977: good amount of smoke, a little harsh on the nose exhale, but mellowed out into a nice spiciness quickly. Nice woodsy notes. I feel like there’s a lot going on with the flavors and just cant nail down exactly what i'm tasting.
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (2/3):
Quote:
abyr: same as first 1/3rd.
Quote:
ashauler: now we're talking. Spice is a bit muted, but still there on the finish. Main portion of the flavor profile has developed into the dark maduro fullness that i enjoy from this stick.
Quote:
badwhale: musky, oil and woodsy. Medium body; medium flavor. Still residual spice on the aftertaste. Pretty smooth, but the flavor profile, in this one, is not for me. Not bad, just not too interesting.
Quote:
buzz: spice died off a little, mostly wood/bark/earthy now.
Quote:
cigarsarge: not as nutty. I'm getting a sweet flavor along with the coffee i noted in the first third. It's pretty mild but has a complexity i like.
Quote:
cyris: coffee flavor is coming out in the second third. Almost creamy, more mild then i expected.
Quote:
daigz: the bitter taste went away after about an inch or so. The smoke became a little more creamy. There was a leather taste in this third but it tasted almost old and slightly like mildew. The burn was ok but i think that it would have been better had i been inside. The wind was affecting the burn pretty badly.
Quote:
diesel grinch: second part was fine. The tobacco tasted nice and it was an enjoyable smoke around friends.
Quote:
eville: more leather with a bit of spice creeping in.
Quote:
logan37: spice died down very much. Still nutty in flavor but had a straight tobacco finish.
Quote:
mangyrat: pepper gone now and the draw seems almost too easy, some coffee or chocolate it was so light i could not pin it down.
Quote:
mizicke5273: coco taste has started to disappear. Still slight hints of leather.
Quote:
ndv21: taste has mellowed down a lot. Getting some earthy, grassy, and creamy tones.
Quote:
prophetic_joe: slight bitterness creeps in for a few puffs and then mellows out again to the smoothness and flavors of the the first third. Draw acting up a bit, getting a little tougher. I had used a punch so i punched a slightly bigger hole out to try to make the draw easier. A little squeezing as well and we're off again.
Quote:
steele: still a woodsy taste with a hint of pepper joining in also another light addition there that i just cannot pinpoint. Started to burn a little uneven touched up and was fine. Woodsy flavor being pushed out toward the final third.
Quote:
tdre977: started burning a little un evenly but nothing too bad. Some nice coffee flavors coming out now. Some strong wood notes on the nose exhale. I feel like this stick keeps changing up flavor on me.
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (3/3):
Quote:
abyr: this tasted pretty much the same to me throughout.
Quote:
ashauler: more of the 2/3rd. Towards the end, the bitterness creeps back up the scale just a tad. I dropped it with about 3/4" left.
Quote:
badwhale: medium to mild body. Medium to mild flavor. Again, some spice left, but more mellow now. The bourbon is a nice pairing. Woodsy and oily. Heating up in this last 3rd.
Quote:
buzz: spice is gone now, just bark/earth left.
Quote:
cigarsarge: it's got a bit stronger now on the mild side of medium. The smoke is really smooth. More coffee and sweetness. I like this cigar.
Quote:
cyris: getting a little harsh here in the final third. Not as smooth as before. Roasted coffee flavor, bordering on tarry.
Quote:
daigz: the pull finally loosened up in the last third of this smoke but by then i had enough of the taste. There were no real subtle differences between the second third and the third third. There was still the leather taste, not much of anything else.
Quote:
diesel grinch: third part was fine. The tobacco tasted nice and it was an enjoyable smoke around friends.
Quote:
eville: more spice than leather now.
Quote:
logan37: spice picked up again, but nothing like the start of the cigar. Flavor was still nutty and the finish was slightly earthy and a bit oily.
Quote:
mangyrat: some pepper again but now i taste something slightly bitter. Produced a large volume of smoke on the last 1/3.
Quote:
mizicke5273: harsh taste.
Quote:
ndv21: got nothing out of it.
Quote:
prophetic_joe: started out going good for a few puffs into the last third but then the draw just closed up really tight. Again used the punch and a squeeze to open it up and was greeted with a really, really bad bitterness the caused me to have to put it out. I was barely into the last third. Disappointed in that but i think it may have just needed a longer rest in my humi.
Quote:
steele: pepper taste predominant, still smooth though and not overpowering. Nearly nubbed it.
Quote:
tdre977: last 1/3rd felt like some more of the same, definitely picked up in strength near the end.
