Smoke: Cubao Natural ~ #4
Drink: None
Tunes: None

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra Oscuro
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Draw: Medium
Burn: Good
Misc: about 60min

Pre-light: Nice construction with some veins. Cocoa sweet tobacco scent that’s just a little musty, but in a good way. Colorado maduro shade wrapper. Not much taste on the cut prelight flavor.



Light: Easy. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: A little spicy and leathery. Some black licorice undertones. Medium body and woodsy. Maybe some subtle cocoa notes. Smooth, but a little bite. Nice sofar.



Ash: Light gray with mottled dark gray mixed in. Stacked nice and solid. Holds on for about 1 ¾”



2nd 3rd: Woodsy notes, sweet tobacco, a little leather. Moved more to a light to medium body now. Still has that faint black licorice twinge and some cocoa.



3rd 3rd: Woodsy. Getting a little more oily now, and needs a purge. Subtle flavors dissipating. Oily is mixing with the sweet tobacco flavors, and making the woodsy more rich. Back to a solid medium body now.



Overall impression: I understand the online auction sites have nice prices on these, and if so, it’d be worth it.

Thanks Dan for picking me up one of these while we hit your shop.
