Humidor Stogies box

Great looking cigar! Almost seamless in the construction. Cold draw: woodsy and nuts with a touch of floral. 1st: good pepper to start out with that dies down but lingers in the retrohail. Floral, hay, and woodsey on the back of the tongue. Mascara line is normal. The burn is not straight but wavy, not touch up worthy. 2nd 3rd: not a lot of change to start with. The floral notes are coming to the forefront. A touch of sweetness has come up. The floral is a bit more pronounced on the tongue that pleasantly hangs around After a good minute. Smoke output to this point has been good. Woodsy notes are still hanging around with hay. Vary enjoyable smoke to this point! Towards the end of this 3rd Toast notes have raised its head. Coffee notes are starting to ramp up a bit as well. The entire experience has had a creamy texture to keep any bitterness at bay. The last 3rd: Still creamy as well as woodsy as well as light sweet fruity throughout. This has been an exceptional cigar and will Insure that it is always in my humidor.

Toothy cigar for sure, but the seams are well hidden. The band artwork is top notch, and the cedar sleeve adds a nice touch. Good smoke output with some black pepper on the retrohail. Ash is flakey from the beginning, and the mascara line is thick. Burn is not the straightes. Nice tobacco taste on the draw with a typical Dom.Rep. sweetness that lightly touches the pallet. As i get deeper into the 1st 3rd there is a slight cedar taste that is slowly becomming more dominant. Towards the end of the 1st i would get on 2 out of 3 retrohails a slight white pepper..so it has toned down a bit. Starting the 2nd 3rd the smoke output has maintained and the mascara line has straightened up. The 2nd is really smooth and a bit creamy. There is also a touch of toast sliding in on the bottom half ofthe 2nd 3rd. Just a toach of pepper on the back of the tongue. The retrohail is now more woodsy with a touch of creamyness. The ash is more white as i get further into the cigar. Starting the last 3rd, i was able to remove the band with no issues. As i get halfway thru the last 3rd, toast and woodsey notes,are commanding the draw. So as i finish this cigar..a slight touch of sweetness came back into the profile. Overall a really goid smoke

Pre light: cigar has a ever so light oily touch. The 3 bands are all well made that catch the eye. Cold draw has a fruity touch as well as flowery hint with a touch of white pepper. Cold draw: easy draw. The taste of hibiscus and light apple are at the forefront. 1st 3rd: Ceder is the first that hits the pallet. Light white pepper on the tongue. A sweet taste lingers on the bach end of the smoke. Nice black pepper on the retrohail. After the 3rd or 4th draw woodsey notes come to the forefront leaving the ceder notes to take a back seat. It is to this point moderate creamy Towards the middle of the 1st 3rd the pepper has disapeared.Good smoke output, the ash has a pepper grey tone, and the mascara line is raser sharp. There is now a touch of light coffee 2nd 3rd: start of the 2nd the Ash has stayed straight and strong. Went ahead and tapped it to be safe. Very creamy to start off. Retrohail is now smooth with zero pepper. Mascara line got a touch crooked but it corrected itself. Nuts and woodsey are dominating to start it off. Not a lot of change other than a touch of white pepper coming back in on the back end. Smoke output is still great..draw is still smooth and easy. The light sweetness that was there in the 1st is now gone. Last 3rd: going into the last 3rd no real changes. Waited till the last min. to remove the band, too much glue that caused to wrapper to rip slightly but not enough to cause major damage. As with the 2nd 3rd, not much change. The pepper has come back in the retrohail. Overall a very enjoyable cigar.
