Smoke: Esteban Carreras 10 Anos Maduro ~ Torpedo
Drink: Yuengling Porter
Tunes: None
Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Draw: Medium draw
Burn: Good
Misc: 60min
Pre-light: Colorado maduro, almost Oscuro shade wrapper. Box press torpedo shape. Nice construction. Rich sweet tobacco scent. Same sweet leathery tobacco flavor on the cut prelight taste.
Light: Easy. Solid medium draw.
1st 3rd: Rich. Full body. Medium to full flavor. Dense oily smoke. Sweet tobacco, but masked somewhat by the oil flavors. Porter is a nice pairing. Leather. Earthy. Lots of different stuff I can’t describe right now.
Ash: Crisp white and flakey. Doesn’t look too strong. Holds on for about ˝”
2nd 3rd: Sweet tobacco now mixing nicely with a nice oily tone. Woodsy and earthy. Very rich flavors. Very nice. Dense, but not overpowering spicy or pepper on a nose exhale.
3rd 3rd: Now more woodsy and oily even with a couple purges. Doing good though… Again, rich flavors and smooth. Nice smoke, great draw, even burn.
Overall impression: Very enjoyable, complex smoke. I will look for more.
Thanks to he who shall not be named.
Will
