I wasn't planning on doing a review so I didn't have my camera to take pics. I just started jotting down notes because the cigar was surprisingly good (I had no expectations going in). I didn't find any reviews on this cigar from doing a quick search.

San Cristobal Guajiro (6.625 x 46)
Really smooth, leathery wrapper. Some small veins. Smells sweet.
Pre-light taste: Delicious. Sweet.
1/3: Really, really good. Leathery. Some salt here and there. Small hints of chocolate covered cherries. Slight pepper aftertaste. Smoke smells a little like chocolate, too.
Burn: Fairly even all around.
Ash: Layered. White speckled with black. A little flaky. Stayed on for 1/2".
2/3: Same good flavors with an added tobacco flavor. Seems to have increased in strength. Starting to burn uneven.
3/3: Just like the middle 1/3 in strength. Frequent touch-ups needed. Still really good flavor with more tobacco flavor.
Overall: Great smoke. I never tasted flavors like that before in one cigar. Leathery, salty, chocolate-cherry flavor with hints of tobacco that increased as I smoked. Everything blended well together and only changed for the better. Even the uneven burn couldn't detract from this. 9/10. I really need to get more of these.
