A Razorback lost in Texas land
Cold draw: Some nice cocoa, a little dark roast coffee bean.
Beginning has more black pepper than any cigar I’ve smoked recently. Not exactly overwhelming, but annoying. Doesn’t start at all like the Cafe 52 I smoked awhile back. Hoping for better, and soon.

After a few more puffs of singing the nostrils on retrohale, things settle into a cocoa-marshmallow vibe. They don’t stay there. Good lord…. this is like a completely different blend than that Cafe 52. Bitter, so bitter.
This one has no hope for me. I knew I’d find some along the way that would not have repeat performances. This is one. Maybe it’s the thinner ring gauge, but this one is getting tossed early.
