-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (1/3):
Quote:
abyr: tastes about the same as it smells, fairly bland.
Quote:
ashauler: slight bite on the initial draws. Deep flavor that has a slight woody note. Lots of smoke.
Quote:
badwhale: right off the light, a nice oily rich tobacco flavor. A tiny bit of spice and smooth leather. This is going well so far.
Quote:
buzz: soft and mellow, little bit of spice, cedar – very good taste.
Quote:
daigz: started off smooth with some light sweetness.
Quote:
egq: i like this one - nice flavor - rich smoke.
Quote:
heftysmokes: earthy, a touch of mint on lighting... Getting the chocolate, heavy flavors of the maduro wrapper.
Quote:
irish79: complex. A lot going on that i am unable to describe.
Quote:
mangyrat: started out on the mild side with not much going for it.
Quote:
mizicke5273: this stick started out with a strong robust coco flavor with a nice amount of smoke trailing off into the night. The ash was solid and a lightish gray color with an even burn. A slight hint of spice developed after a bit, though the coco was still strong and the dominate flavor. The taste is smooth and very good.
Quote:
mrplatypus: has a very earthy/dark roasted coffee taste to it, but it's like one of those really rich good tasting coffees. No bitterness, very smooth through the nose.
Quote:
tdre977: cedar and chocolate, a little peppery, love it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (2/3):
Quote:
abyr: a little better, but not by much.
Quote:
ashauler: here we go. The bite has gone away, replaced by a heavy tobacco flavor with a distinct woody taste on the finish. Nice long finish.
Quote:
badwhale: rich tobacco flavors. Nice leather ring and smooth. Medium body. Oily flavors mixed in. Nice.
Quote:
buzz: spice went away, still nice taste though – sweet / coffee maybe.
Quote:
daigz: picked up some pepper and lost some of the sweetness.
Quote:
egq: i loved the amount of smoke coming off of this - billowing.
Quote:
heftysmokes: less chocolate into the 2/3... More leather, little bit of pepper. Smooth, heavy.
Quote:
mangyrat: getting better tobacco, leather and a hint of and cedar.
Quote:
mizicke5273: by this point the coco flavor has started to die down some and the spice has picked up. Though the taste is still smooth as can be.
Quote:
mrplatypus: if you could smoke coffee, i imagine it would be like this. A little stronger than the first part, but also a little richer.
Quote:
tdre977: wrapper lifted a little, still very cedary, maybe nutty, earthy, great tasting stick.
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (3/3):
Quote:
ashauler: more of the 2nd third. The balance of deep sweet flavor, with the wood on the finish is very nice. I very much like this cigar and have a few more resting.
Quote:
badwhale: oily, musky, tobacco, leather, smooth. Nice overall.
Quote:
buzz: flavor stayed consistent to the end, didn’t get bitter at all.
Quote:
daigz: got bitter a little into the last third, i pitched it with about 1.5" left.
Quote:
egq: there was a nice rich flavor thru the full smoke. Really enjoyed it.
Quote:
heftysmokes: same same... Good, not great. Unremarkable.
Quote:
mangyrat: it finished up much better than it started out now it has a little pepper and the leather is more pronounced.
Quote:
mizicke5273: by the end of this cigar; the coco and spice has begun to disappear, leaving behind a slight harsh taste.
Quote:
mrplatypus: got stronger, and developed a very spicy side, but still had that coffee flavor. Reminds me of the best coffee i've ever had, and i like my coffee!
Quote:
tdre977: stayed pretty consistent for me, delicious to the nub.
