prelight taste:
Quote:
abyr: great tobacco flavor, with some undertones of spice.
Quote:
ashauler: not much at all on the cold draw.
Quote:
buzz: not much, a little hay maybe.
Quote:
daigz: slightly acrid taste on pre-light.
Quote:
egq: a little sweet, a little cedar.
Quote:
heftysmokes: a bit on the salty side, nothing jumps out.
Quote:
mangyrat: grass and tobacco.
Quote:
mizicke5273: floral-grassy taste? Not sure to be honest.
Quote:
mrplatypus: not much there.
Quote:
tdre977: my first smoke in a glass tube, how fancy!
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (1/3):
Quote:
abyr: smooth, medium bodied, good tobacco flavor.
Quote:
ashauler: pretty bland and non-descript tobacco flavor to me. Gives me a "dry" impression. Lots of smoke with this though.
Quote:
badwhale: light body with a tannic flavor to it. A little bit of leather, oil. There's a musty aspect too. I hope this changes flavor profile, cause it ain't my bag right now...
Quote:
buzz: mild for sure and not much taste, a little sweet on the finish.
Quote:
daigz: very mild taste, some creaminess but nothing outstanding.
Quote:
egq: a bit sweet, some hints of spice.
Quote:
eville: not a big fan of connecticut wrappers and this doesn't seem to be an exception. Too bitter for my tastes. As far as actual flavors go, i'd say... Cedarish?
Quote:
heftysmokes: i'm giving this thing 15 minutes to improve. Haven't had anything in my mouth this bad since we went to my sister in laws for dinner.
Quote:
irish79: smooth & light bodied. A little of spice now and then. Lots of smoke. But this smoke is pretty mild.
Quote:
mangyrat: started out on the milder side with a not much defined taste.
Quote:
mizicke5273: there was a slight split at the foot, nothing serious and was uneventful. At the start i picked up a musky-woody taste. This is a very light and mellow smoke, not strong at all. A slight nutty flavor began to appear.
Quote:
mrplatypus: just a smooth opening. Good mouth feel, smooth retrohale, and pleasant. Nothing noticeable flavor wise that i could pick out, but good smoke.
Quote:
tdre977: mild, with some cedar notes, creamy.
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (2/3):
Quote:
abyr: more of the same.
Quote:
ashauler: 'bout the same... Not very interesting and pretty one dimensional. Creamy smoke, and lots of it.
Quote:
badwhale: uneventful. Light body, kinda bland outside of the musty, oily, tannic flavors.
Quote:
buzz: more of the same, mild and slightly sweet. Not a bad taste, just kind of boring.
Quote:
daigz: woodsy taste but real mild flavors, lots of smoke, just very bland taste.
Quote:
egq: more of the same.
Quote:
eville: again, not diggin the connecticut. More straw-y notes.
Quote:
heftysmokes: nope... In the trash can. I might not be a good judge of flavors and tendencies, but i like to think i know good from bad... This was bad.
Quote:
mangyrat: starting to get much better for some reason i think of roasting peanuts when i was smoking this one so i’ll say it had a hint of nutty flavor.
Quote:
mizicke5273: still mellow and smooth. The flavors are not very robust. No change, the nutty-toasty flavor is still there and smooth.
Quote:
mrplatypus: still smooth. It doesn't have any flavors i can pick out, but it's just smooth smoke. Can't say it's got cedar, or spice, or floral, but it's still really tasty.
Quote:
tdre977: picked up in strength a bit, nice spice taste in the back of my mouth.
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (3/3):
Quote:
abyr: a little stronger than earlier, but still a medium, and still very smooth.
Quote:
ashauler: got bitter towards the end. Purging had to be done regularly. Not my preferred profile for sure.
Quote:
badwhale: more purging. More oil. Some ash flavor now. I'd go as far as to say this is on the harsh end. I'm not enjoying it. Now i know how everyone felt that got 2 kinky friedmans...
Quote:
buzz: maybe just a little hint of spice in there, but not much. Got bitter at the end.
Quote:
daigz: built up a little flavor on the last third, picked up a bit of spice too.
Quote:
egq: more of the same.
Quote:
eville: i can't tell much of a difference between this and a sol cubano. Kind of a bitter toastiness.
Quote:
mangyrat: it finished up much better than it started out with a mild spice.
Quote:
mizicke5273: no change at all. The ash is very solid even to the end.
Quote:
mrplatypus: started to get sharp, but good none the less. Can't think of any serious complaints on this smoke.
Quote:
tdre977: toasty and nice, really liked the last 1/3rd. Stayed smooth through the whole smoke.
