A great dessert cigar

Dimensions:

Length: 150mm

Diameter: 20.54mm

Ring gauge: 52

Shape: Edmundo

Appearance:

A thing of art. The wrapper is almost seamless and glistens with an oily sheen. The foot shows a good bunch and the triple cap is carefully applied.

Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

The strong essence of barnyard. The pre-light draw of chocolate.

Burn/ Draw

A slow even burn with an easy draw.

Initial third:

When you light the cigar up, you are greeted with coffee and cocoa flavor that is reminiscent of chocolate pudding and espresso.

Middle third:

It is still chocolaty, but only slightly less so. We now have some notes of cream, honey, cedar, and vanilla with a very pleasant sweetness.

Final third:

The last third yields some dark toast with a hint of nutmeg and sautéed mushroom and still chocolaty.

In summary, the entirety of the cigar remained very mild-medium and at no point was ever harsh. Definitely a dessert cigar due to the heavy tone of chocolate. Very pleasant indeed.

Smoking time:

60 – 90 Minutes
