Robusto (5 x 50)
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
Filler: Nicaraguan
Binder: Cameroon (I think)
Drink: coffee
Construction was solid with no soft spots. The wrapper was a nice looking slightly oily brown. The scent of the cigar unlit was sweet and grassy with a slight hint of fresh mint. The cap cut clean and the prelight draw was nice and tasted earthy.
Lit, this cigar produced a ton of thick white smoke that had a simple aroma of sweet tobacco. At first the cigar was very peppery with a strong leather finish. About 1/3 down the spice dropped a little and a nutty taste joined in. As the cigar burned shorter the spice lessened until it totally dropped off with about 1/4 of the stick left. For the last 1/4 the nuttiness went away and a tasty of fresh grass was introduced. The finish at this point was still leathery, but much milder then it was before.
I was pretty impressed with this cigar. It's a little over priced IMO(MSRP $6.65), due to the limited production I guess. If you see them on sale, they are worth checking out.
