This cigar was thrown at me by a fine botl. Btw, DW, the mail carrier pulled through. He will never deliver another package again, but at least he got a nice pension out of it.

The construction of this cigar was excellent. The wrapper was oily and toothy and a very dark brown. pre-lit the cigar smelled like sweet leather. The pre-light draw was clear and tasted earthy.

After toasting the foot a sweet smell of cooked cherries. The first raw threw me for a loop. It tasted like baked apples. That only lasted for 2 pulls. Then a taste of sweet leather and nuts started with a spicy finish. About 1/2 down the leather taste dwindled down to almost nothing and the general nutty flavor became a more specific hazelnut taste. At this point the spice finish stopped and became a coffee flavor. With 1/4 of the stick left the hazelnut taste became stronger and creamier. The spicy finish came back but with avery different effect. The new spice flavor was very sharp and left my mouth with a menthol sensation. It didn't taste anything like menthol but it gave me the "cold" sensation that menthol would. From the first draw, this cigar produced a ton of bright white, thick, creamy smoke that smelled like roasted hazelnuts.

The cigar burned a little uneven, but it didn't cause any issues. The ash was a bright grey and held on very strong. It lasted about 3.5 inches before falling off. The draw remained cool for the entire smoke.

Thank you, DW, for allowing me the experience of this creamy smoke.

Wow, appetizers, hors dourevs, the main course and dessert all in one smorgasboard cigar! You might need a cigar after this cigar.
