One of my favorites from Perdomo. Great flavor throughout, the draw was a little tighter than one normally gets from Nick and crew. The burn was great.....until the blowout going into the final ⅓. I'll stop here before I go into a rant. Lol
These are one of my favorite "go-to " sticks. They never fail on construction, appearance, or flavor. The draw on this one was a bit tighter than usual, but not bad. Probably about a 7 on the Tim Swanson scale.
After my last couple of cigar experiments, I felt the need to burn an old faithful today. Lol
Great taste as usual right from the start. The appearance was a bit uneven and somewhat toothy. The burn needed some touching up and purging in the 2nd ⅓, but straightened right out going into the final⅓. Got peppery at the back of the throat in the final⅓, but overall an enjoyable smoke.
Well Constructed, cut perfectly. Very smooth pre light draw with subtle leather and caramel notes.
First third, very mild to start, leather and subtle black pepper are predominant. Very strong straw flavour develops as you progress.
Middle portion. Sour notes of straw and hay take over. Pepper and molasses underlying. Burns nicely, but not razor sharp. Touch up helped it along.
Final third, sour straw and hay, very musky with subtle citrus and molasses. Burned well with a perfect draw to the nub.
Overall a very consistent and well made cigar, just not a flavour profile I personally enjoy.
