This is my second take on reviewing this cigar.
Very little is known from the origins of this cigar, but I have a feeling I know where it comes from. I already asked Dan but he did not reply.
Bone Crusher is a 5 1/4 x 54 with a Broadleaf wrapper. At its climax, the Bone Crusher has a medium minus body.
Cunstruction:
Very apparent veins some larger that others. I also noticed some inperfections on the roll of the wrapper. It sometimes seemed as if the roller tried to hide some holes or something like that. With all these imperfection you can tell that this is no cigar for gurlies. The wrapper is not oily but there is a little sheen when in the light. On all my cigars, the burn was faster in the first inch and then started to slow down. The band looks almost taken from a copier and very thin paper is being used. I prefer to use a punch with this one, as the draw tends to be on the loose side, if not I finish the cut with my V Cutter. The ashe is firm and dry, very dusy when it falls. This is a cigar for us bearded males with hairy chests not for them shaved gurls or zimmer framers... hint hint: you know who you are!!! :blushlove
Pre-Light:
You have very little hints of barnyard (just hints, no more). There is a definitive sweet smell comming from the wrapper. A cold draw delivers some spice and sweetnes to go with the rest.
First Third:
There are two dominant flavors sweetness and spice. The spice is definitively a medium red chili. The sweetness feels like Chaselas (a type of grape used for wine). The sweetness on the draw lingers in the mouth for some time. The retrohale reveals some cinnamon and white pepper.
Second Third:
This is the part that I like the least, not because it is bad, but because the first and third are so good. The chili is less present but stays around in the back just to let you know it will come back eventually. The sweet grapes are the winners of this round, but the flavors are not all so dominant. It sometimes feels like having some sweet and warm air in the mouth, rather than the flavor bomb that it is in the first round. No more pepper to be found.
The Last Third:
The Chaselas has vanished. It is less fruity, but the sweetness remains. It has now become more of a sugar cane sweetness. The chili returns and has also adapted its hotness and feels more like a hot paprika. Some leather is also coming and going but only if you pay attention enough.
Conclusion:
Remember the hairy chest? Well, some people would be drawn away of a cigar with red chili flavors, but not us! Right? This is a nice cigar that should be enjoyed at any moment of the day, since it is only a medium minus body. Its a flavor bomb, but not a powerhouse. I enjoy it with some Nashi. GO GET IT!!!
