Habanos Puros Fuerte ~ #4

[badwhale]

Ashauler’s review

Smoke: Habanos Puros Fuerte ~ #4
Drink: Yuengling Bock Beer
Tunes: Alice in Chains ~ Facelift

Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Costa Rican / Nicaraguan
Draw: Medium
Burn: Fine
Misc: 60(-)mins

Pre-light: Dark brown Maduro wrapper. Kind of rough texture, but solid construction. Musky tobacco scent. Somewhat bitter & spicy prelight taste.



Light: Took a little effort. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: Full body and flavor. Strong oil flavor & a semi-sweet chocolate sweetness. Pulls a mild spicy note mixed with sweet on draw, and leaves the semi-sweet oil on aftertaste. It coats the palate with these flavors.



Ash: Solid appearance. Yellow twinge on a medium grey background. Holds on for ¾”



2nd 3rd: Oily. Leather mixed in now with the semi-sweetness. Full body little ass kicker. Not nicotine, but lots of flavor. Perfect sweet and bitter mix.



3rd 3rd: Oily again. Bitter overtaking the sweet and a little leather now. Very thick mouth feel on the aftertaste. This beer cuts it nicely and is a pretty good pairing.


Overall impression: I will eventually pick up a box of these. Very nice smoke.

Thanks to a generous BOTL

You really have a talent for describing the flavor profile. These are good enough to keep a box on hand?

Nice review. Gotta love the grunge from the early 90's.
