Aganorsa Leaf

La Validacion Habano

Nice, tightly packed cigar. Firm to the touch, no soft spots, just the right give. Smooth, oily, reddish brown wrapper with some visible veins, well rolled, nearly invisible seams. Beautiful, opulent, classic band. Good draw from the start. First third starts with nutty, cedar notes and some sweetness. Pleasant, balanced and smooth flavors. Good burn with an almost straight, thin burn line. Leather and liquorice notes appear in the second third, the burn gets briefly a bit wonky, but it self corrects quickly. In the last third liquorice is the dominant note and some earthiness takes over from the leather notes. Balanced cigar, medium strength and quie enjoyable.

Love this stick, has a great flavor. This one in particular has a very tight draw, trying to loosen it up, the wrapper leaf cracked.

Great Stick. Good, robust flavor profile without any hints of strong pepper. Good draw, a bit on the loose side. Excellent burn and held an ash very well.

Great smoke. Only complaint is that the burn was pretty bad.
