Cuban
Length 5.3"
Gauge 46
Build Flawless. Burn was a little uneven, probably due to an uneven light but after a little touch with the lighter it was beautiful.
Taste The fun stayed with the pre-light, which was sweet, fruity and just a little leather. First third was mild with woody notes. Through the third something developed but I couldn't put my finger on it. In the second third a little leather crept in and it hit me, it was a pleasant but of light tannin I was getting. Last third it became sweeter with a hint of gentle pepper and marzipan notes lingering in the tongue.
Conclusion I was thinking of the thread we had recently about our first cigar moments. This wasn't my first but it's certainly a moment. This was wonderful, probably my new favourite and had it not been for this forum I would never have tried it.
This is a mild smoke but by no means simple. It danced across my pallette like a kitten. It was also an astoundingly cool smoke and the first I've managed to comfortably retrohale. The only downside here is I'll never get any more.
Here are a couple of pictures, I got caught up in the moment and forgot to take any more.
