Oneaday sent me this in the SB payout and I have never smoked one (or the non EL for that matter) so while watching some B-Ball I dedcided today is the day. When I first got into cigars the EL's were big and I bought into the hype and burned out on smoking them, I have since tried a few and most have come along nicely.
The wrapper is dark and dry showing no oils after clipping it has the divot under the cap usually meaning a great draw. The cigar starts with coffee and chocolate with a great draw. Not much change in the first third, the cigar is very mild in both strength and flavor.
The second third is still light coffee, no more chocolate or anything else for that matter. At the half way point I start getting a little spice, the chocolate is back with a burnt caramel undertone. Still very mild, very, very, mild.
The final third is creamy coffee and spice, earthy undertones and a nice finish. the smoke coats the mouth and the last few draws seem to linger forever. I wish the whole cigar could have been like the last third.
I'd rate it 88 mainly on the final third.
Thanks Ken!
