Light: Easy. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: Slight oil twinge. Sweet tobacco and a saltwater taffy salty note. Toasted nut, like cashew taste. Oily and salty twinge.

(guess I missed the 1st 3rd….I blame hop devil)

Ash: Dark gray with light gray layers. Those ash bubbles…and holds on for about 1”

2nd 3rd: Salty note. Bitter twinge, with toasty nut sweetness. Straight up tobacco flavor. Mild to medium body. Mild flavor. Smooth, and leaves an oily aftertaste.

3rd 3rd: Mostly the same. Maybe a minty / oily twinge now.

Overall impression: Too light for me, and may be the flavor profile has mellowed too much over time.

Thanks to you know who for this event. Pretty cool to smoke a cigar that’s this old. Easily the oldest one I’ve ever had.

Interesting! I was wondering what these were like. Thanks!
