Beutiful box pressed, silky, smooth, dark maduro wrapper. It had a sturdy, slate-grey, pancake stacked ash, and the draw was little on the loose side, but not so bad that it was annoying. The burn was relatively even throughout, and the smoke was thick and creamy with an extremely mellow aroma. The flavors were extremely creamy. The core was earthy during the first half, but it was so creamy you didnt get the bitterness usually associated with the earthy tone. The core became more woody towards the middle of the cigar and maintained its creamy texture. There were hints of tea, cinnamon, and even sublte warm mint. The final third of the cigar added a light spice on top of everything else already packed into the cigar. The flavors became a little more harsh towards the end, but were never bad, and I put it out when it started to burn my fingers. This is one of the most relaxing cigars I have smoked in a long time. It's extremely mellow, and I imagine with a year in a humidor it could be absolutely masterful. I dont normally like Torano's, but I definately have to give credit where credit is due. This blend is well deserving of its place on CA's top 25 of the year. I will definately be stocking up on some of these bad boys!:smokingme
If you guys havent tried one of these, I definately recomend it!!!! I dont thnk you could go wrong.
