Other's reviews (None found, searching the Reviews Forum)
Smoke: La Herencia Red ~ Robusto
Drink: Yuengling Porter
Tunes: The Police ~ Greatest Hits; The Pretenders ~ assorted
Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Ecuador
Filler: Dominican, Columbian, Nicaraguan
Draw: Medium
Burn: Perfect
Misc: 60min
Pre-light: Nice construction, however, a skewed cut on the foot. Colorado shade wrapper. Sweet tobacco scent, and a faint prelight cut flavor of bitter oil.

Light: Easy with a solid medium draw.
1st 3rd: Musty flavor, and some bite. Creamy texture, and oily notes prominent. Medium to light body, leaning towards the medium range. Mostly oil, but not real bitter, and balanced by a nice sweet tobacco flavor.

Ash: Dense stack. Light gray. Holds on for about 1”

2nd 3rd: Musty again. Oily. Some woodsy, like cedar notes. Medium body. Perfect burn. The profile is pretty basic. Decent smoke, but maybe a little too light for an evening number. Building a little strength here. Creamy, but cut with the oily aftertaste.

3rd 3rd: Mostly the same profile as above.

Overall impression: An inoffensive, but non-memorable smoke. I won’t be looking for more. Upside is I picked this up in person in Ybor city on my visit with Smoked! The leathery old roller guy in there was pretty neat to watch, but I got the impression he was pissed and didn’t really care to be watched.
