Smoke Famous Nicaraguan 3000 ~ Torpedo
Drink(s): Yuengling Porter
Tunes: Queensryche Greatest Hits

Wrapper: Maduro
Draw: Medium throughout
Burn: Razor sharp, even with small cone throughout.
Misc: 90+ minutes Nose exhale exhibits medium burn.

Pre-light: Musky scent. Bit of chocolate smell. Prelight taste ~ nothing

Light: Medium effort to toast. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: Spicy. I sense a hint of chocolate. Slight salty flavor. Oily, lots of stuff going on here. I'd say medium body at this point. There's something else on the draw... a green, not aged flavor. Hard to describe.

Ash: Crisp white. Tiny black specks. Solid out to 1 1/2"

2nd 3rd: Chocolate, oil. Medium to full body now. Spice has mellowed, but still there. Basically the same flavor profile, but a little more mellow.

3rd 3rd: More heavy body now. Spice is gone. Oily chocolate hints. Minty green taste. It gets harsh towards the end

Overall impression: Very good for the price. I think I should let these age in the humi for a while though. Good potential. Score: Solid mid 80's

Dammit, someone will respond to this review!!!!

I just thought about genuflecting on this cigar, and reading through, it's pretty consistent with the way I described it last year, except for that "green" flavor I noted. That's gone now, and this is just a really good cigar.

I am digging the music. I have a few famous 6000 Nic Toros. They are a decent yard gar I guess.
I am sure mine need some resting time though. Plus mine are natural and not maduro.
The stick looks and sounds good Will. Thanks for the review..
