Nice review of a different size below, but I thought I'd do my own as I got the Nub-esque 4x50 stick.
The dark, spongy wrapper gave a strong scent of cocoa and leather whole the pre light draw was fairly leathery and very snug. Love the band on this thing, even if it takes up a third of the cigar.
Once lit, an instant strong hit of nut was present, which took me quite by surprise as I'd never experienced such a nutty flavour before. Draw was still firm and the smoke output was quite thin, but decent enough.
Ash held on tightly and the burn was extremely good.
The nutty, slightly creamy flavours continued through the first half (hard to do such a short stick in thirds!) with a slight chocolatey taste on the finish. The ash fell off almost half way through and a slight touch up was needed, but nothing disastrous.
The second half is where this cigar really came to life, with several distinctive flavours coming and going on each draw. The smoke become much thicker too.
The nut died down and was replaced with a milky leather with some floral notes on the finish. The floral notes were then replaced by a nut finish and then nut became the predominant flavour once again.
Every couple of pulls I'd also get a real sugary hit, almost like a grain hit my tongue or pallet and making me do a double take. That was a nice surprise.
Towards the end the nut taste remained, with a bit of leather once again and a slight peppery taste. No zing, just the taste.
After exactly an hour I was down to the nub and it was burning quite warm, so I ended it.
I really enjoyed this smoke, the only slightly disappointment being I didn't find it very full bodied as I'd heard in other reviews, instead always being quite mild. A very pleasant hour spent and the Budweiser went very well with it. Recommended!
