Binder: Honduras
Filler: Honduras
Size: 6"x54
Pre-Light
The wrapper on this was a beautiful milk chocolate color. Very smooth to the touch with only one noticeable vein. I clipped it with my Xikar, and it went through fairly smoothly. I felt a bit of resistance. Once the end was off, I saw why. A fairly large stem was there, in the middle of the cigar.
Pre-Light draw was perfect for me. Fairly firm, but not plugged. (even with the giant stem)
Lighting
The cigar lit fairly easily, even though I was using a butane table torch in the daylight and I had no idea where the end of the flame was.
First Third of Cigar
Well initial flavors I got were black pepper, with a light tobacco taste. The smoke was rather creamy on the palette. This is kinda weird, but I definately picked up on a dried leaf taste (well how dried leaves smell at least)
2nd Third
The pepper seemed to simmer down here. Another weird taste occurred to me...root beer. If anyone has ever tasted Sasparilla root, than its more like that. Not sugary sweet, but a neat flavor. I'll have to smoke another to see if its there again. Also noted here, I picked up a pretty big tobacco buzz. Felt it hard in my stomach. This puppy is strong!
Last Third
The tastes intensified in the last part of the cigar. The "root beer" flavor was short lived, and the pepper and leather came back full force.
Overall Burn
This cigar burned very well. Ash was flaky at some spots, but could still hold on for an inch or two before falling off. Cigar was very smoky, even when idle, and produced very dense smoke...perfect for smoke rings. The stem protruded out the foot of the cigar when I was finished, but didnt' seem to impede the burn or affect flavor. (not that I'd know anyway as this was my first Coyolar)
Conclusion
Well, as I really had no idea about this cigar, other than a recommendation from DWSC (I think Dale said this was one of his fav's) I was really in for a surprise for how strong it was. I wasn't expecting that at all. After I smoked this I find that its composed of all Ligero leaf, so that would explain it. I wish I would've eaten before I smoked this, I probably would've enjoyed it more. But I'd assume anyone who enjoys strong, full-bodied smokes would like this cigar. I believe it retails for under $6, but I got a 5 pack on the Devil Sight for much less than that.
