Second 3rd - Started with a little more of that sweet spice I got on the cold draw. Didn't last long and the rich tobacco and leather came back. There has been a decent amount of pepper on the retrohale but not overwhelming. The cigar was soft to the touch from the get go. I'm not sure if it is really fresh or if I've just over humidified it. Probably the latter since I've been fighting the humidity in my cooler this spring. I've been trying to get it into the mid 60's but it keeps spiking to 70.
About halfway through I started having some trouble keeping it lit. I'm sure due to the wetness of the cigar. The sweet spice flavors might have stuck around if I wasn't smoking so aggressive to keep it going, but regardless, that rich tobacco and leather flavor I keep referring to is good. I wish I could smoke it a little slower. I know there are more flavors in there, I just can't seem to get them out of it.
