This place IS my vacation
Appearance and Prelight: 8/10- First, I will just say this: This cigar got a lot of hype from everybody doing SOTM. The wrapper gave off a different taste of molasses and coffee. It was a very thin wrapper, as well as tan. It was absent of any veins. I decided to cut this one instead of punch it because it wouldve been difficult to cut and I didnt want to potentially ruin my SOTM. The Prelight gave off an aroma of Cinnamon and more of the coffee from before.
Flavor and Notes: 6/10- This cigar got a lot of hype from everybody doing SOTM. It didnt fit my flavor profile, personally; Nonetheless, I nubbed it to be fair to our SOTM program. The stick was not bad by any means, just not for me. The first several draws were much like the prelight: cinnamon and some salty coffee notes. The cinnamon quickly lightened out and in came some molasses tones upon exhale. There was also a black-like salty coffee taste as well. The coffee outlasts the first third and sets up shop until the end of the cigar. In the second third, the salt and bitterness went away and in came a building spice. This balanced out the cigar very well I thought. The only really cool flavor about this stick in my opinion was the cinnamon, which came back into play near the end of the smoke for a nice finish. The last third was definitely my favorite part of the smoke.
Burn/Ash/Draw: 8/10- The ash had a yellow hue to it. Not sure why, most likely something in the particular leaf that was used. It burned even, which was good but it had a very tight and unpleasant draw. Not my favorite, but its all about what you like! Thanks for reading and thanks for participating in SOTM!!!
