humblest apologies Deano I forgot that was on the banned list (need more coffee before posting in a morning)
Have to laugh all the words which are perfectly acceptably used on a grown ups forum and THIS is the one which can never be spoken of. It's just Belgium man.
No problem. It's less a 'rule' really and more like good advice - they've sent threatening emails in the past and locked accounts.
Received my cigar today in top notch condition and decided to smoke it now whilst I had the opportunity [emoji4]
Lovely smooth milk chocolate brown wrapper. Well packed at the foot, has a Cuban tobacco smell about it, picking up a hint of honey and light grass and wood notes.
Medium draw, more green notes on the cold draw with a slight pepper on the lips.
Once lit, a good amount of white/grey smoke. Can't quite out my finger on the flavours coming through but they're not the honey and grass on the nose. Much heavier, woody, nutty there is a warmth/spice there but not like the normal hit of pepper. This is very similar to a bolivar.
After an inch or so the pepper comes to the front a little but is far from offensive. The honey comes up periodically. This is certainly a medium/full cigar in my books.
Towards the half way point it's mellowed slightly and the sweetness is coming to the front more along with light wood notes.
Up to the final third, the tastes have stayed much the same if only intensifying slightly. The burn had been spot on until this point. Still very smokeable.
Decided to leave it at this point as it got a little bitter and went out.
Overall a very enjoyable cigar. I'm certain it's Cuban, not entire sure of a brand apart from the initial hints of bolivar.
Look forward to every ones else's opinions and thank you HH for organising this [emoji4]
