Binder: ???
Filler: Anejo blend (Dominican)
Draw: Medium

Misc: n/a

Pre-light: Colorado – claro shade wrapper. Signature torpedo end that morphs into a box press at foot. Nice construction. Light tobacco scent. Sweet tobacco ring on cut prelight taste.



Light: Surprisingly took some effort to get lit, and a solid medium draw.

1st 3rd: Oily and bitter / spicy notes off the bat. Pepper spice dominant. Musty sweet tobacco in background. Mellowing into a twangy cammy wrapper taste. Light to medium body.



Ash: Light gray. Stacks well with tiny ash bubbles. Holds on for 2”



2nd 3rd: Unfortunately, I’m having some wrapper issues. Cameroons are fragile. I’ll smoke through it. Nice unsweetened tea, oil, tobacco flavors. Almost creamy except for the oil bite. Delicate & interesting.



3rd 3rd: Oily twang is lighter, but still there. Nice balance of sweet and oil bitter. Again, mild profile, relaxing and very enjoyable.



Overall impression: Very interesting HTF cigar.
