    The Review

    Movie: Canadian Bacon
    Drink: Bird Dog Blackberry Whiskey
    Location: Back deck

    Prelight:
    - I used a punch to limit the damage to the wrapper and cap. I think I made the right decision doing that.
    - The draw was loose, which is to be expected, but not as loose as I would have thought.




    First Part:
    - This was tough to light, which I'll attribute to the small cracks and damage.
    - For the first few puffs I wasn't able to pick up any flavors. Unfortunately I had to put the cigar down for ~20 minutes and had to relight it.
    - Upon the relight, I was able to pick up a smooth peppery taste.
    - As the more I got into the First part the pepper continued to pick up and become stronger. There were also some hints of leathery spice developing.
    - I had to do some touch ups to the burn, nothing too bad though. I was actually surprised the burn wasn't worse than it was.
    - Continued to be smooth.



    You can see a crack in the wrapper developing here, though nothing came of it and it didn't impact the burn.





    2nd Part:
    - The pepper has begun to pick up again....but so have some burn issues.
    - The leathery spice flavor has begun to meld with the strong pepper taste. Which is a bit fascinating as I don't think I ever experienced that with flavors in a cigar before. Oh, it is quite good to.
    - With about a little less than 2 inches left, I quite taking notes and just enjoyed the great cigar.






    Final:
    This was an enjoyable smoke to say the least, and it was pretty fun to smoke and review as well. In the end, I think my patch work held up pretty well. I have no idea how much, or if any, the wrapper patches effected the original taste. I'm really happy I was able to salvage the cigar and that it smoked really well without any incidents.
