I have been totally intrigued by this cigar. I feel that it has been marketed perfectly. so I had to get a smapler to give it a try.
the reasoning behind this cigar Sam Leccia Says is to get to a sweat spot in the cigar right away, We will see.
I am going with the 466 habano wrapper. it is actually a 4 X 66 torpedo shaped cigar. while it is a HUGE ring I prefer this shape in most cigars.
I clipped the end at an angle, I do this on all torpedos as the Colonel had showed me while he was in Yuma. I was told and find it true that it lets out more flavors. I am not sure why but it surely does.
Prelight:
Honestly shocked me. It was quite Barnyardy, A common trait in Cuban cigars but not found in many NC's
Draw:
Perfect. A touch to the tight side, Not tight just firm, just the way that I like it.
Light:
this is the interesting part on this cigar. IT IS HARD TO LIGHT. I took almost 7 minutes to get this going, as I light in my hand.
1 third.
WOW.... Spice and strong. I feel not taste the spiciness on my tongue. I think this reminds me of a Corojo wrapper with the spice that I am getting. Almost a underling flavor of clove. it is hard to place but there. TONS of smoke.
