    prelight taste:

    abyr: kind of bland smelling, with some tobacco smell.
    ashauler: nice dark tobacco flavor on the cold draw.
    badwhale: sweet leather taste & tobacco on the cut prelight taste.
    buzz: sweet and pepper, very nice.
    daigz: slightly sweet with a little bit of pepper.
    egq: earthy, a bit sweet.
    irish79: nada.
    mangyrat: tobacco and a hint of something i can’t put in to words kind of a fruity hint.
    mizicke5273: couldn't pick up any real scent to but i could taste some light coco or coffee taste.
    mrplatypus: not much there.
    tdre977: i may just be a damn fool, but i taste licorice.
    -------------------------------------------------------------

    taste (1/3):

    abyr: tastes about the same as it smells, fairly bland.
    ashauler: slight bite on the initial draws. Deep flavor that has a slight woody note. Lots of smoke.
    badwhale: right off the light, a nice oily rich tobacco flavor. A tiny bit of spice and smooth leather. This is going well so far.
    buzz: soft and mellow, little bit of spice, cedar – very good taste.
    daigz: started off smooth with some light sweetness.
    egq: i like this one - nice flavor - rich smoke.
    heftysmokes: earthy, a touch of mint on lighting... Getting the chocolate, heavy flavors of the maduro wrapper.
    irish79: complex. A lot going on that i am unable to describe.
    mangyrat: started out on the mild side with not much going for it.
    mizicke5273: this stick started out with a strong robust coco flavor with a nice amount of smoke trailing off into the night. The ash was solid and a lightish gray color with an even burn. A slight hint of spice developed after a bit, though the coco was still strong and the dominate flavor. The taste is smooth and very good.
    mrplatypus: has a very earthy/dark roasted coffee taste to it, but it's like one of those really rich good tasting coffees. No bitterness, very smooth through the nose.
    tdre977: cedar and chocolate, a little peppery, love it.
    -------------------------------------------------------------

    taste (2/3):

    abyr: a little better, but not by much.
    ashauler: here we go. The bite has gone away, replaced by a heavy tobacco flavor with a distinct woody taste on the finish. Nice long finish.
    badwhale: rich tobacco flavors. Nice leather ring and smooth. Medium body. Oily flavors mixed in. Nice.
    buzz: spice went away, still nice taste though – sweet / coffee maybe.
    daigz: picked up some pepper and lost some of the sweetness.
    egq: i loved the amount of smoke coming off of this - billowing.
    heftysmokes: less chocolate into the 2/3... More leather, little bit of pepper. Smooth, heavy.
    mangyrat: getting better tobacco, leather and a hint of and cedar.
    mizicke5273: by this point the coco flavor has started to die down some and the spice has picked up. Though the taste is still smooth as can be.
    mrplatypus: if you could smoke coffee, i imagine it would be like this. A little stronger than the first part, but also a little richer.
    tdre977: wrapper lifted a little, still very cedary, maybe nutty, earthy, great tasting stick.
    -------------------------------------------------------------

    taste (3/3):

    abyr: same.
    ashauler: more of the 2nd third. The balance of deep sweet flavor, with the wood on the finish is very nice. I very much like this cigar and have a few more resting.
    badwhale: oily, musky, tobacco, leather, smooth. Nice overall.
    buzz: flavor stayed consistent to the end, didn’t get bitter at all.
    daigz: got bitter a little into the last third, i pitched it with about 1.5" left.
    egq: there was a nice rich flavor thru the full smoke. Really enjoyed it.
    heftysmokes: same same... Good, not great. Unremarkable.
    mangyrat: it finished up much better than it started out now it has a little pepper and the leather is more pronounced.
    mizicke5273: by the end of this cigar; the coco and spice has begun to disappear, leaving behind a slight harsh taste.
    mrplatypus: got stronger, and developed a very spicy side, but still had that coffee flavor. Reminds me of the best coffee i've ever had, and i like my coffee!
    tdre977: stayed pretty consistent for me, delicious to the nub.
