3:15 MST outside on my back porch, it was around 83 degrees and a bit of a breeze.
This cigar was kinda lumpy and had some wrinkles or tears, it smelled good but didnt look good. 6
Cigar lit really quickly and had a bitter strong taste on the first couple draws, lots of smoke. 8
First third, the cigar tasted woody and nutty and some spice. The bitterness went away after about 5 minutes and it calmed down a bit, still a strong cigar for my tastes. 8
Second third tastes remained the same but got stronger a little bit, the spice became more prevelant. 8
Last third it got pretty strong...too strong for me and maybe a bit bitter. 7
Overall impression was I am not sure I liked it, I would smoke one again to try it. 7
7.3 average, but I dont think this cigar was ready to be smoked so that is not a fair score. it was pretty hard and I didnt really check it before I smoked it, I would have probably put it back. So if you havent smoked it yet, smoke it last. I tore apart the nub and the ouside 1/8th to 1/4 of an inch was dry as a bone, the inside was very moist...this one needs to be last. I am disappointed that I smoked it when it wasnt ready.
