This is probably one of the best flavors I’ve ever tasted in a cigar and rivals the flavor of some $20-$30 sticks I’ve tasted. Unlike some peoples experience I tend to make a more shallow cut so my cigar stayed perfectly in tact and had a beautiful tightness and consistency down the entire shaft, the light was inconsistent because my lighter crapped out on me halfway through the light (what I get for not getting the cigars daily lighter lol) but the burn tried it’s best to even itself out. The first third; was instantly creamy and beautifully balanced with that deep roasted honeysuckle flavor that comes from a good maduro, the smoke itself was of faint walnut and dried leather with a finish of that iconic “old world” tobacco taste. The second third; brought the flavor of toasted honeysuckle and dried walnuts straight to the front of the palate with a finish of leather and tobacco. The final third: actually mellowed slightly moving Bach to leather and walnut with a new peppery-ness that almost rounded out the experience perfectly. This will most definitely become a daily smoke for me and I pray that Rico remembers his last name and doesn’t raise the price too high, these are amazing.
