Pre-light: Awesome label, really. Let’s just get that out of the way. Looks to be nicely constructed. Somewhat pronounced veins & a medium brown colored wrapper. Nice sweet plain tobacco scent, and a slight bitter uneventful prelight taste.

Light: Easy. Medium draw.
1st 3rd: Some nutty flavors. Slight bitter twinge, but ok. Slight sweet tobacco taste mixed in too. Mild to medium body. Mild to medium flavor. Kind of mellow and unobtrusive cigar.

Ash: Light gray ash. Stacked, but flakey. Holds on for about 1”

2nd 3rd: Slight bitter. Woodsy profile and that sweet tobacco. I guess its mostly the same. There is a mild saltiness to it (Which I guess is expected for pirates)

3rd 3rd: Getting a bit more bitter and hot now. Try a purge… Same flavor profile, except the sweetness is dying off now.

Overall impression: Good yard ‘gar. I have others in mind, but I wouldn’t pass up an occasional promo bundle, if they exist.
Thank you Smoked! For the opportunity to smoke this one!
