Id been holding off on smoking anything today until my brother showed up, because I knew he was bringing these bad boys. The anticipation was killing me, but the time finally came and we sat down and smoked these puppies. It had a nice natural wrapper with a nice contrasting band. The ash was light grey and stacked at first, but became more flakey and cracked towards the middle, and it wasnt very sturdy. The draw was just a tad loose, but not bad at all. The burn was relatively even most of the way, but I had to relight the edges about five or six times. The smoke was light at first but became thick about two inches into the smoke. The first two inches of the cigar were filled with a leathery core and lots of cocoa. After that it really mellowed out and became a very light bodied smoke. It maintained a creamy dry leathery core throughout the rest of the smoke, which was very relaxing, but not tremendously unique or outstanding in any way. It finished on this note, and I decided that this was more of a Saturday morning smoke than an evening smoke, but it was still enjoyable nonetheless. Id smoke another one, but Id probably want one with a little more age on it.
