Got to smoke the puro tonight, and it was quite enjoyable.
When it first arrived, I was convinced it was an isom from the wrapper, but the construction pulled me away from the initial impression. While the wrapper had a slight red hue to it, the construction was much too even and consistent for what's been coming out of there lately.
Lit it up, and there was a light pepper to it, but it was still quite smooth. Probably not a Honduran, then. Work through the first half of the stick and I narrowed it down to either Nicaraguan or Dominican, but the wrapper was all wrong for Nicaragua and the final third really just didn't mesh with my experience of their smokes.
So, I'm going to have to go with Dominican!

Men of genius are admired; men of wealth are envied; men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
