La Terraza Capa Connecticut

Have repeatedly tried this stick over 7 months since I got the box. Mostly consists of bitter earth and pepper. The construction is absolutely inconsistent, this one was missing tobacco at the cap so it came apart when cutting. Extra rest does not seem to help this cigar very much.

Second stick from the box. The first one a couple months ago was bitter, tasted like dirt, and was overly spongy. After a couple more months this one has a little better blending. The bitter earth backs down to allow subtle tones of sweetness with lighter notes of pepper than before. Still a little spongy but getting better. Extra rest seems to do these well.

This one was mostly a disappointment. Only notes that came through was pepper and severe earthiness. The cap unraveled almost immediately and the construction was spongy. Luckily I have more to let rest and try again.
