Another gift from a friend, in my humidors for about two or three months. I lit this very large cigar, about a 7x54, at 1645 hours. I knew it might be better off with a few more months of age, but I was looking for something different, with a name, since I've been smoking my precious few Cubans and a lot of no name Non-Cubans lately.
Like many light Connecticut shade wrapped Dominican cigars, this one had a flavor of lightly toasted white bread, basil and black pepper most of the way through. It drew perfectly, and burned quite well. Toward the end I began to taste more of that rich, sweet cream and heavy earth that I would have preferred. It was finished at 1832 hours, and packed a decent kick. Then again, smoke a grocery bag for 1 hour and 47 minutes, and it would probably have a kick.
Definitely a cigar with possibility, but I would age these for six months to a year before smoking them if I got hold of any more.
