Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Mexican Capa Negra
Binder and filler: Nicaragua
Beautiful, toothy, dark chocolate wrapper, feels like fine sandpaper. Tight seams, no veins, triple cap. Smells like spicy leather with semisweet chocolate at the foot.
First puffs reveal a very easy draw with plenteous smoke output. Very bold and spicy start, though a little harsh in the throat. Earthy and cedary taste, like a cedar chest that had been buried in the ground.
First 3rd: still spicy, earthy, and cedary. Still a little harsh. Burn line is a little wavy.
Second 3rd: harshness has mellowed and a dry cocoa flavor has added to the mix.
Final 3rd: had to touch up the uneven burn once. Strength mellowed from full to medium. Spice died down, giving way to more earthy flavor, like the smell of a rainy day.
Highly recommended. Some age would make this superb. Strength was medium to full with full flavor.
