Pre-light: Colorado-maduro shade wrapper. Nice construction. Heavy feeling. Nice sweet tobacco / musty leather scent. This is from a sampler I got in 2009. Spicy & dusty on cut prelight taste.

Light: Pretty easy. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: Buttery. A bit musty, some oil and woodsy. A bit spicy. This is nice and tasty sofar. The oil has a leather mixed with it that comes across a tad acrid. This is a good blend, and what I would most definitely id as a Nicaraguan cigar.

Ash: Nice bright white, with tiny ash bubbles. Holds on for 1”

2nd 3rd: The draw is nice, but one of those that seems “airy” Not tons of smoke, but decent. Burn sofar is fantastic. The oil, leather and woodsy mix perfect. Toothy. Leaves a pleasant sweet, oily ring on the aftertaste.

3rd 3rd: Just tweaked the band to loosen it…the band writing is imprinted on the wrapper. Cool …it also cracked the wrapper. Not cool  More of the same profile. Some coffee notes now. Really nice!
