Review # 54
$7.50
5.2" x 55
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf, Ecuador Habano
Origin: Nicaragua



Prelight: Hay, cedar, licorice, heavy veins in the wrapper

1st 1/3
Creamy toasty coffee, perfect draw, sweet spices on the finish, digging this cigar so far.
Medium strength, starting off mellow with a little black pepper also.

Lots of smoke with a slightly off ash burn
Molasses, licorice, lemon, honey now.....

I think with the name Bone Crusher I was excepting something more forceful but the cigar is absolutely unforeseen in it's ability to surprise me.
The Tramp Stamp (Robusto) (5.2"x48) was a disappointment and why I was bracing for the worse.

2nd 1/3
Continuing with its creaminess with an addition of bitter black pepper I hope subsides.
Few leather notes, but the cream dominated the second third.
The aroma is wonderful and an abundance of room filling smoke.

Final 1/3
Pepper subsiding, all the flavors melting together and leaving a extended taste on my palate.
Toffee and leather showing up, the finish was not heavy or overpowering at all.
This was a very good cigar, get a few and try them out

Smoke time 1 hour 20min
Score: 8.5 out of 10
