First and foremost, I want to say that I received this Cigar courtesy from JC Newman through a Facebook contest.
JC Newman Perla del Mar Perla M
Nicaraguan Filler and Binder
Ecuadoran Connecticut Wrapper
4 3/4 x 53
The Cigar was a little soft to the touch on the foot, but with the Cigar being sent FL-TX in 100 degree temp. I'm not going to hold that against them. Rest of the Cigar was nice and smooth.
Off the light I picked up a lot of spice off the foot, which mellowed over the first third.. Very smooth and creamy, with just a hint of nuttiness off the front of the tongue.
That spiciness was pretty much gone into the second third. Still extremely smooth, nice and creamy and was picking up more of the nuttiness, almost like a mix of almond and hazelnut. Really makes me wish I had a cup of coffee with this cigar.
The spiciness really came to kick back at the beginning of the last third, and was picking up more wood and nut flavors. The spice was not overwhelming, but added character as I smoked it down to the end of the Cigar, about 50min later.
Overall a solid Cigar. Would be a very nice choice for a Cigar Newbie. Price rage is around the $4.75-6 mark depending on the size. Great mild-medium middle of the day cigar!
