JackK1971 purchased this cigar on 2009-01-01.
It has 4 year aged tobacco of additional aging.
This cigar was smooth and enjoyable from the first puff. It gave off lots of smoke from the start and nice even burn.
The draw was easy and smooth and the body was medium at the start with a nutty, mild coffee flavor that left a crisp & clean flavor on the palate. Very enjoyable!
As I got into the second third of the cigar the nutty flavor gave way to more of a leathery taste - slightly woody. It also began to get a little more full bodied as well but the smoothness remained and it was still easy on the palate.
This was very much how the cigar went into the last third, still smooth and building as the leather flavors began to dominate over the wood. It also developed a tang, probably due to the Sun-grown wrapper which added further to the change in pace. Altogether a very impressive smoke and certainly worth the $8 price tag. I actually invested just under $200 for a box of 24 because I liked them so much, but at that price I'll be saving the for special occasions!
