Viaje Supershot with much thanks to @Jp1979. Excellent burn and flavors, right in my wheelhouse. Something along the lines of maple syrup sweetness with a decent amount of spice that isn't overpowering, cocoa, some cream, a touch of earthiness. Damn slow burn too. Probably should have had dinner first, but I'm digging this watching the rain come down.

Another day and another Bull City Cigar Company smoke.


Bull City Cigar Company - O M'anam (toro)

"Spring Honeysuckle greets you but gives way to slight earth and oak flavors. . . from my soul to keep you warm."

It started off mild-medium with honeysuckle being the dominate flavor. By this point it was already honeysuckle, oak, earth, and a hint of black pepper. Then it settled into oak, earth, a touch of spice and bit of sweet honey. It changed up and became a very Dominican cigar with the Ecuadorian binder keeping it from getting too dark. The MAduro Corojo wrapper added a bit of spice and at times a nice dark chocolate. Going in to the final third the binder came to the forefront and then the chocolate, spice, earth, and oak really came out as the cigar turned into a full body smoke bomb. Then another vanilla like flavor came in and things were really cooking. This cigar takes you from mild to full body and tells it's own story. There were times I thought it was perfect for fans of Fuente maduros, and that came as no surprise since the master roller previously rolled for Fuente and Davidoff.

A really good cigar at less than a month from the date of rolling. I would love to see what it does after three or six months.
