Damn this was one beautifull cigar I almost felt too bad to light it up. A perfecto or diadema shape ? Smooth brown wrapper almost no veins. Capped on both the foot and the head ( which is the first one in my experience ) Even though it was capped on both ends the smell was still amazing.

Construction on this one was superb and it took to light quite easily even with the lack of area to burn at the foot. Right Away I got hit with spiciness galore. And as the cigarstated to open up I got hints of leather, forget the name of this spice but it is used in baking cakes, wood, some fruit can't put my fingeron it. And sincethis is a perfecto shape as the cigar was opening up these falavors were coming in one at a time and the spiciness was decreasing where at its widest point the overall sensation is a very complex flavor profile yet smooth at the same time. I can't even describe how much I was enjoying this baby

As the cigar started tapering in afterthe wide part the flavors were still there for most part but hey became even more balanced and even smoother than before. Which lasted all the way till the end.

Did I nub this one .................... you bet

This cigar trully exemplified what a premium priced premium quality smoke should be. Oh yeah it also had a bit of a punch to it strength wise. I just think I will go and get myself a 5er of these.

And all you guys who have experience with aging cigars I think this one might be a great candidate for 3 or 4 years time to be put on it. What do you think ?

Space Bar, Dan, Space Bar.

You think that's a nub? I smoked that Party Short the other nite, then stuck a skewer it to keep smoking .... then burned the cigar past the skewer. That's a nub.

ok ok
That was a great review with great pictures.
Dan ... you're the man.
I'm pretty sure I'm the first guy to ever say that.

Keep em coming.
