Siitting down right now to smoke #3:
Its about 4:30 pm, I've had two smokes today, but its been awhile.
I'll be varying between watching the UCLA game inside the house and sitting on the back porch. I'll be drinking some coffee while smokeing
Prelight: This is a nice looking medium brown torp. Boxpressed with one big vein, nothing that really takes away from the nice oily apperance of the cigar. A nice subtle fruited sweetness to the prelight draw which is ample. The prelight reminds me of the RP Vintage 92 line, maybe thats what I'm smokng here
8/10
1st Third: As the first third starts out theres a medium tobbaco flavor, surrounded by a subtle sweetness and a elusive spice. The first third stayed consistent throughout... A nice medium bodied straight tobbaco flavor, with hints of spice and a subtle sweetness. The flavor reminds me of a sumatran or possibly a corojo wrapper (like the early punch rare corojo). Not saying thats what it is, just the flavor I'm picking up.
7/10
2nd third: More of the same flavors but adding in some cedar and a nice earthyness. Strength picking up. As the second third progressed some nice bean flavors picked up
3rd third: Wow, what a great 15 minutes of smoking. Very complex earthy tobbaco flavors. Bean flavors (coco, and coffee), with a nice sweetness. Strength picked up, still medium but very enjoyable.
9/10
If the first 2 thirds were as good as the third this would be a classic. A little mild in the begining but would be good for the mornings
I have to give this a 7.5/10
