Rare Select

Forgettable smoke. I’m glad It’s the last one I had in my humidor.

Ok cigar. Slighly harsh on the palate, earthy, musty notes. Burned béter than the last two I had. Won’t buy it again.

Quite bumpy, toothy dark wrapper. Cigar took some time to properly light up. Good smoke output eventually. Smoke is quite dry, leaving a scratchy feeling in the palate. Cigar tended to go out if I stopped puffing. Ash split (see 2nd and 3rd picture). Flavor notes earthy and leathery, not a lot of changes, and the burn keeps being uneven (binder and wrapper burning slower than the filler). Had to relight three times. Didn’t enjoy this smoke. Won’t buy it again.

Slightly tight draw. Woody, leathery tones. Mild spice in the retrohale. Uneventful

Wrappper nature colored, some strong veins, took some time to light up, slightly tight draw, initially not too much smoke. Pleasant, medium to mellow cigar (after 5 years of aging). Slightly uneven burn in the second third. Solid, dark grey ash.

Reminiscent of an Inspirado Black. Great cigar with a perfect burn
