Tonight I’m smoking the Enclave Broadleaf and heres the scoop. This kicked off with some tunneling issues and a crooked burn line. It gave off a peppery punch to the nasal, which quickly calmed down somewhat in its intensity. Then my wrapper developed a tear in it. There’s a really nice mix of chocolate and leather. Nice looking band depicting natives of which I’m Cherokee Chickasaw myself. With the light roasted coffee it almost seems like espresso. The draw is a little tight. It is slightly creamy. Still having to correct tunnels and a bad burn issue. It’s burning a little fast. The flavor notes do get darker as you go. The filler seems to be more on one side. Still getting some of that pepper as I round into second gear. Still really good and sweet. The chocolate is holding on, as well as the leather. Not a lot transitioning, pretty consistent so far. A little earthiness has joined in. The bad burn is finally getting under control. It’s holding a nice long ash now. The final third brought in a little spicy Nasal burn and maybe a slight cedar. If you take away the burn issues, I could give this cigar an 86.
