Picked up some of the new blends from @Ventura Cigar via site sponsor @Famous Smoke
Archetype Initiation (corona)
Pre-light
Smells like faint hay with even fainted floral notes. Very refreshing. The rich, Ecuadorian Habano wrapper has a couple large veins running lengthwise down the cigar.
I really dig the Archetype logo on the band around the foot. The other logo, for the Initiation is creepy enough to fit.
Tight pack. Nice and firm.
1st third
Light tobacco flavor with pepper and herbal notes. Very mild and mellow. Pretty relaxing.
Pepper is ramping up.
2nd third
Surprised by the pepper. Pushed exhale and flavors mellow. Mild sweetness and pepper is gone. Fruit? Citrus?
Flavors move to more of an almond. Doesn't last.
Final Third
Getting some sage taste and aroma now. Definitely a mild to medium. As the burn continues, I'm not enjoying the harshness so I'll set this one down now.
Mellow cigar that many of my friends will like. I prefer the Psyko Seven Natural blend over this one, but I'm glad I gave it a try.
