This is a down and dirty review. I WILL start out by saying that what prompted me to write it was, like movies that stay with me for days after viewing, i woke up today and my first thought was about the Rexie I smoked yesterday.
The cigar is a thing of beauty and while some have had mixed feelings or hate for the band, I love it and think it compliments the color and shape of the vitola beautifully. The band and cigar are both something very special.
I like Pete's style. Maybe because we are close in age? :dunno:
ANYWAY, I spark this bad boy and get a blast of pepper and spice. THIS THING IS A BEAST out of the gate! But unlike the ~?~ S&Bs, where I felt like someone sprayed cracked pepper at the back of my throat, this was dense and complex pepper, more refined, if you will.
In the middle of the first third, the other flavors start to swim to the surface, espresso, a spicy wood, and a touch of sweet spice. I am NOT SAYING these flavors are muddled as much as they are in the process of developing more fully. (IMHO, there is a difference) This cigar's construction was perfect, as evidenced by a perfect draw and burn. The cigar was a pleasure from beginning to end.
But in the end, I couldn't help but think I am sitting on a gold mine. I will re-spark in 3-6-9 months respectively and probably wish I would have bought my own box instead of the 8 sticks I have left.
Happy Thanks giving my fellow BOTL and family of choice.
Hope you like the review.
