Did it have a pigtail cap?

Upon lighting I was graced with a ton of pepper and spice. Very full flavor, I loved it. However, it mellowed out substantially after the first third. It didn't really change much after that, just consistent creamy, though largely bland smoke. It was still enjoyable, however, and combined with the only 2 Rolling Rocks I had with it I was pretty buzzed afterwards. I enjoyed this stick greatly down to the last 1/2 inch or so.
As for the country of origin, the spice and pepper leads me toward Nicaragua. I thought maybe Cuban at first, but I have never known a Cuban to mellow out so dramatically. Being that Nicaragua is where I see the majority of non Cuban puros, I will make that my guess. I believe this stick was from Nicaragua.
