This Umbagog (Shallow water) is very nicely wrapped, thin seams with a dark brown oily wrapper. The “Cut and a light” kicked off with a tunneling issue. Seems to be burning evenly. Diabetes alert..this cigar is sweet! Great milk chocolate flavor. Theres leather, black coffee, it’s earthy, with a red pepper retro hale and there’s some sweetness coming from the wrapper as well. It’s like a dessert cigar. Into the second third, I’m getting some brown sugar, Carmel and molasses flavor notes. The retro hale is very oily it leaves an oily finish on the tongue as well. It’s medium body, fuller than full flavor. If you have a sweet tooth, this cigars for you. The flavor profile is holding up nicely in the final third. Deep chocolate. It’s lost a ton of points for the horrible tunneling issues mines had, which won’t keep me from purchasing another one because of how sweet it was. The final third was full of brown sugar and chocolate. It was a fast burning cigar, just over one hour. I really hated to see it end. I would recommend trying this cigar. I would probably score it around a 91 if it didn’t have construction issues, but the flavors are amazing, and they held up till the end. I can’t wait to get another one. I feel like I’ve eaten chocolate cake.
