This curious little perfecto comes in at 4.5" x37-52. The Ecuadorian wrapper is Maduro colour and has a smooth oily finish with a curious little foot. The head is 37 gauge widening to 52 at the belly. The filler is a combination of Dominican and Honduran. It is apparently a limited edition run.
The wrapper smelt very faintly of tobacco and once cut the cold draw was faintly earthy but was very tight. Once lit it was an absolute nightmare. It was burning but suck as I might I couldn't get any smoke out of it. Long story short I clipped past the shoulder, prodded it with a pin and massaged it and eventually it burned quite well. I hope I don't have to do this for every one in the box.
And the taste, actually pretty good, it swerved between roasted pecans to roasted almonds and amazingly produced plenty of smoke eventually. The ash held on really well following the shape of the cigar until sadly I had to tap it off for a relight.
In summary once the bloody thing was lit it was a really nice smoke.
