This overdressed edition from boutique blend Swag comes in at 6" x60 and is a Dominican puro. Wrapped in a smooth and oily looking Colorado wrapper it felt quite soft and springy and smelled of slightly sweet mild tobacco and the cap looked a little crinkly, much like me as it happens. Once punched the draw was very light and the cold taste was earthy with a hint of pepper.
She lit easily and the initial flavour was a delicious toasted malt with just a hint of pepper on the finish.
The burn started out good but soon this stick was canoeing like crazy but I left it until the first relight when I corrected it. All in she required four relights over the two hours it took to smoke her.
Once the initial maltiness had passed the flavour settled down to a mild, creamy, nutty taste that remained constant till the end, overall very pleasant.
What that mildness hid though was a stealth bomb of nicotine that didn't start to kick in till after I'd finished it. Maybe due to the size of the stick, hard to tell but Matty was slapped by another Swag so I suspect not. Incidentally I was doing my usual thing of accompanying this one with chocolate so that may have contributed.
