Size: 6 x 56
Appearance/Pre-Light: It was by far a really really beautiful looking cigar, and i couldn't wait to light this one up. The wrapper had a nice dark look to it and it had absolutely no blemishes on it. At first I thought i was going to have a hard time cutting this cigar because of it's large ring gauge but my Xikar handled the challenge. The pre-light aroma reveled a nice sweet spice smell with a bit of a woodsy after tone.
Flavors: The first inch or so of this stogie was a bit of a let down, i was getting ready to say "This thing is weak!!!". But when i got to about two inches in to it, it absolutely hit me!!. It had just a great combination of spice, wood and a nice sweet/nutmeg to it, the burn was a major problem to me mainly because it burnt a little funny in the beginning. As i got into the final third of the cigar, the spice seemed to cool down abit for about two or three puffs. Then it quickly got back to it's normal spicy goodness, and the flavors intensified. The spice became more and more rich and i knew if i smoked more of it i would be paying the price for it, so i stop with about an inch and a half left.
Overall: A great cigar but it is not for beginners, also look for a smaller ring gauge to prevent burn issues.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
