prelight taste:
Quote:
abyr: spicy, sweet.
Quote:
badwhale: strong spicy and leather on cut prelight taste.
Quote:
buzz: spice, maybe cinnamon.
Quote:
cigarsarge: sweet... Figgy. The wrapper is really dark and oily. This is a well filled cigar... Heavy and dense.
Quote:
cyris: the appearance of this stick is pretty good. Couple of large veins, no soft spots. Prelight taste was woody with a slight sweetness.
Quote:
daigz: a little bit of spice with a hint of sweetness.
Quote:
diesel grinch: this tasted much better than the kinky cigar.
Quote:
eville: sweet tobacco.
Quote:
logan37: just tobacco.
Quote:
mangyrat: not much of anything but tobacco and a hint leather.
Quote:
mizicke5273: could taste any flavor on the prelight draw.
Quote:
ndv21: i sense some light chocolate in it. Nice tobacco flavor. It grabs my attention really fast.
Quote:
prophetic_joe: peppery to me a little.
Quote:
steele: sorry, was preoccupied... Stupid tent.
Quote:
tdre977: very nice prelight aroma, leather & light earthiness?

taste (1/3):
Quote:
abyr: started off kinda spicy and sweet tasting.
Quote:
badwhale: a little spicy, oily and woodsy. Medium body. Medium flavor.
Quote:
buzz: annoying tight draw, but a decent amount of smoke. Spicy for sure, a little wood, maybe leather, maybe bitter coffee.
Quote:
cigarsarge: initial strong pepper blast the first 1/2 inch. It mellowed out to a smooth creamy spice.
Quote:
cyris: pretty decent start to this smoke. I expected sweet from the prelight, but there was wood and cocoa flavor and a little bit of coffee. Quite enjoyable with the mellow hefe i was drinking.
Quote:
daigz: started off with a little pepper but that died off in the first few draws. Woodsy taste with a little hint of sweetness.
Quote:
diesel grinch: i think i still have the kinky taste in my mouth.
Quote:
eville: i'm going to say leather off the bat, but honestly, i have no idea. It hits hard though. Had trouble getting one side of it lit for some reason. Yep. Heavy on the leather, burn is a little jagged, but even all around. Starting to get a hint of grass.
Quote:
logan37: at first lighting this cigar had a floral taste to it. Soon after it had a nutty flavor with a leathery finish. Very slight spice in the taste.
Quote:
mangyrat: spice and cedar taste right off the bat. Plenty of blue smoke, i would have to say too much smoke for my taste.
Quote:
mizicke5273: has a very creamy and smooth taste. Lots of smoke. After a few puffs, a spiciness kicked in. Creamy, smooth, and spicy? Hells yea i say! Good smoke. There is one more taste that i can quite place my finger on.
Quote:
ndv21: a little creamy and a lot of cocoa! Man this is good. A very light pepper finish as well. Nice little spice hit through nose exhale. Really nice cigar!
Quote:
prophetic_joe: fantastic flavor and a great draw. Kind of a vanilla like taste to it with a slightly spicy peppery finish. Very interesting smoke.
Quote:
steele: can get some spice but smokes fairly smooth not overpowering.
Quote:
tdre977: smooth and earthy, some cedar, powerful feeling stick.
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (2/3):
Quote:
abyr: the spice has gone away, and it's tasting sorta woody now. It's mellowed out some from the first 1/3 too.
Quote:
badwhale: creamy now. Some oil and a light sweet leather tastes. Still a bit spicy. Pretty yummy.
Quote:
buzz: spice is still there, and coffee – not harsh, pretty smooth.
Quote:
cigarsarge: still smooth but the power is kicking in. Leather... Earth... Dark chocolate. Why am i starting to feel funny?
Quote:
cyris: this third started off the same as the previous ended, but some spice started to appear. Blended well with the stick and gave it a little more body. This is turning out to be quite the decent little smoke!
Quote:
daigz: continued woodsy taste with a slight hint of sweetness.
Quote:
diesel grinch: getting better. Nice tobacco flavors.
Quote:
eville: kind of a spicy earth now and more leather. Couple of touch ups on the burn.
Quote:
logan37: stayed the same. Nutty with a leather finish.
Quote:
mangyrat: spice and cedar mellowed out some. Very flaky ash. Still producing large amounts of smoke.
Quote:
mizicke5273: still just as creamy and smooth. Spice has subsided a bit. Fairley even burn.
Quote:
ndv21: same profile but a little more nicotine in it. I'm loving it.
Quote:
prophetic_joe: very consistent. Flavors mellow a little bit but still maintain the interesting sweet vanilla like flavor with a peppery finish. These two flavors play off each other really well.
Quote:
steele: may have been a little sweet taste in there but mostly still the spice with maybe some woodsy taste in there.
Quote:
tdre977: pepper picked up, maybe a bit nutty?
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (3/3):
Quote:
abyr: same as the 2/3, but more mellow.
Quote:
badwhale: mostly the same. Had to purge a few times down near the end. Pretty nice smoke.
Quote:
buzz: flavors softened a little bit, but still a nice spice. Fantastic burn, nice ash, great amount of smoke, annoying draw though.
Quote:
cigarsarge: i'll tell you why i'm feeling funny... Nicotine. Tons and tons of it. Sweat is dripping off my nose. I ain't no sissy but this is kicking my ass. I had to let the last third go. The flavors of the final third are muted by the intense rush. I'm tired of fighting this thing. I'm off to grab a bite of chocolate to get some sugar flowing in my system.
Quote:
cyris: still burning great, especially for me floating around in the pool with kids splashing around. The flavor is even better. The cocoa and wood flavors are more pronounced and blending very nice with the spice.
Quote:
daigz: cigar became stronger but the flavor profile didn't change at all. Still has a woodsy taste with very minimal sweetness in 3/3.
Quote:
diesel grinch: enjoying this cigar.
Quote:
eville: nice and mellow, still leathery, little oily.
Quote:
logan37: stayed pretty much the same. Spice picked up slightly.
Quote:
mangyrat: still taste spice and a hint of cedar also it’s a little peppery. Ash still flaky and producing large amounts of blue smoke.
Quote:
mizicke5273: the creaminess and smoothness has begun to fade away. A harsh taste has begun to develop in place.
Quote:
ndv21: ended up with more creaminess and earthy flavor. A nice end to a nice cigar.
Quote:
prophetic_joe: really liking this cigar. Complex and interesting. Many different flavors that always have a hard time existing in a single cigar. Starting to get a bit light headed though as i attacked this thing on an empty stomach.
Quote:
steele: flavors mixed together and stepped up a notch or maybe the beer talking at this point, but did have a nice finish.
Quote:
tdre977: spice and pepper picked up big time, but it’s surprisingly smooth still. Earthy notes. Very complex, i’m definitely missing a lot on this one.
