Wrapper: Dominican Republic
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic
Date: 08.04.08
Smoke Time: 62 min.
Prelight:
This cigar is beautiful to look at⦠I wish I had taken pictures! A smooth reddish-brown wrapper covers a well-constructed cigar with no blemishes or soft spots. There are visible oils shining on the wrapper. Prelight aroma was very oaky with a definite molasses-like sweetness. Prelight flavors consisted mainly of sweetness, a slight licorice undertone, and heavy spices. There was a slight tingle on my tongue.
1/3:
There was a spicincess at my tongue and lips right from the beginning which blended beautifully with a slight sweetness. These flavors were complimented by deep earthy and spicy undertones. The nice thing is that the flavors were all layered in such a way that they are all distinct in the blend, each at a different spot on my palate.
2/3:
As the first third ends and the second third begins, a hearty spicy flavor took over with a deep strength component that seems to radiate from my chest.
3/3:
The spiciness mellowed out and reblended with the sweetness, with cedary flavors added in. The deep strength is still there â it is not as noticeable on the attack, but the deep fullness is definitely still there.
Overall:
I usually donât smoke cigars quite this strong, and I am happy to report that this one did not disappoint. In what seems to be a market full of cigars blended for nothing but strength, it was nice to find a cigar that was able to combine the strength with a tasty evolution of flavors. The sweetness and earthiness proved to balance well with the spiciness and strength. A good cigar that I am glad I saved for after dinner.
