prelight taste:
Quote:
abyr: tobacco, and maybe a little leather, smells real good.
Quote:
ashauler: there is some age on this stick judging by the cello having yellowed. Nice tobacco flavor.
Quote:
badwhale: not much prelight flavor, and i missed logging the scent.
Quote:
buzz: nice hint of spice, maybe some leather and cedar.
Quote:
daigz: slight spice with a decent woodsy taste.
Quote:
egq: a little sweet.
Quote:
eville: sweet tobacco and straw. Slight spiciness.
Quote:
heftysmokes: light tobacco taste. Nothing stands out prelight.
Quote:
irish79: faint tobacco taste. Snipped & lit easily.
Quote:
mangyrat: earthy, tobacco and a very light sweet taste. But that may be due to the wild turkey honey i was drinking.
Quote:
mizicke5273: musty tobacco?!
Quote:
mrplatypus: some leathery tastes on the lips.
Quote:
tdre977: very veiny looking. Sweet, woodsy.

taste (1/3):
Quote:
abyr: it tastes how it smells. If it stays this way, i'm going to enjoy it quite a bit.
Quote:
ashauler: very nice med-full maduro'ish flavor. Some dry toasty notes as well.
Quote:
badwhale: toasted nuts (yeah yeah), woodsy, some leather and a tad of spice, but not a peppery spice. It's holding my interest very well.
Quote:
buzz: little bit of spice, but died off by the end of the 1st third. Great amount of smoke despite the tight draw and windy conditions (burn suffered from the wind). Draw was probably tight due to my horrific clip, but i was too lazy to go back inside to re clip it.
Quote:
daigz: good woodsy flavor with very mild spice. Has a decent creamy finish.
Quote:
egq: nice oily wrapper, a tad spicy and sweet. Stronger than i had expected.
Quote:
eville: nice and mellow, but full flavored. Some good dark chocolate notes coming through.
Quote:
heftysmokes: rich and creamy...
Quote:
irish79: some spice. Other stuff going on that i can't put a finger on. Woodsy on the exhale. Good amount of smoke. Some kick off the bat.
Quote:
mangyrat: earthy and a little coffee hint.
Quote:
mizicke5273: this smoke starts out with a smooth, mellow taste but no real flavor comes fruit. After a bit a woody-earthy taste appeared that is still smooth and mellow. I can discern what the flavor is.
Quote:
mrplatypus: has a smooth mellow chocolate slightly woody taste to it. Smooth through the nose, and all in all a very pleasant opening. Developing coffee like flavors, but mellow, not bitter or sharp. Like smoking a really good cup of coffee, but being able to shoot it through my nose. This is a very, very pleasant first third.
Quote:
tdre977: first few pulls burn the nostrils, calms down to some woody notes, maybe some cocoa.
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (2/3):
Quote:
abyr: same as before, maybe a little stronger.
Quote:
ashauler: flavor gets more rounded as the cigar heats up... Strength goes up a notch to a solid med-full.
Quote:
badwhale: similar to the first third. Nutty, woodsy, leather and that spice. I wouldn't describe it as "smooth" but it has a buttery component. Enjoyable.
Quote:
buzz: great amount of smoke still, and nice aroma. Taste is muted cedar wood and a toasty aftertaste.
Quote:
daigz: same as the first third, maybe picked up a little spice and lost the smooth cream.
Quote:
egq: similar to first 1/3 - a tad more spice, but the draw is annoyingly tight.
Quote:
eville: having trouble keeping it lit, flavor is suffering as a result. Tasting a bit ashy now.
Quote:
heftysmokes: mellow and smooth... Tobacco, cream, light toast.
Quote:
irish79: draw has loosened up. Mellowed some, not as strong.
Quote:
mangyrat: seemed to get milder and lost most of the taste but still has a little earthy taste.
Quote:
mizicke5273: still smooth and mellow. No real flavor at this point, at least none that i can tell of.
Quote:
mrplatypus: very mellow, and very flavorful. Nice smooth notes of coffee and chocolate, little wood overtones. A nice second 3rd.
Quote:
tdre977: still woodsy/earthy, its ok, but not really my cup of tea.
-------------------------------------------------------------
taste (3/3):
Quote:
abyr: the flavor stayed even throughout the stick.
Quote:
ashauler: more of the same, nice, well rounded slightly sweet and woody profile. Still some "dry" type flavors on the finish that lingers nicely. Got bitter and hot with about 1/5" remaining... I dropped it then.
Quote:
badwhale: like the first two thirds, but a little stronger, and more flavorful. Very nice. Has a creamy minty draw, and the nutty woodsy leather exhale through nose and mouth. Excellent.
Quote:
buzz: more wood and some earthy leather, and the pepper came back just a little bit. Got a little hot at the end, but i was bored with it by then anyway so i was ready to lay it down. Churchills aren’t my vitola.
Quote:
daigz: more spice in the last third but overall still a generally woodsy flavor.
Quote:
egq: the draw seem to be getting worse - otherwise a very pleasant cigar.
Quote:
eville: burning better now, cocoa is back.
Quote:
heftysmokes: heating up a little, toast more pronounced. Good tobacco flavor, strength coming up in this last third.
Quote:
mangyrat: taste is improving again but not like it started out. Slight peppery hint on the finish.
Quote:
mizicke5273: still pretty much the same here. Though a hearty "thick" flavor has appeared closer to the end that i cant describe. The only relation i can make to it is that of a good quality steak cooked to a rare perfection.
Quote:
mrplatypus: very flavorful, but very sharp towards the end. A nice enjoyable smoke.
Quote:
tdre977: some more of the same, kind of a bitter taste on the finish.
