Cordell #2 is a torpedo with a long tapered head, a colorado wrapper, and a slight box press. The roll and feel are good, and so is the draw.
There's pepper at the start, but there's more than that. There's also an underlying richness. I wonder whether it's a DPG blue. But it's got that slight box press, and I don't think the DPG blues have that.
The pepper recedes, and the richness emergers. It's rich, and round, The ash is noteworthy, strong and compact, and the burn line is very good.
As the smoke progresses I get notes of wood, cedar in particular. It gets smooth, round, more mellow. The finish becomes less dry, less tannic, replaced by some nuttiness. Almonds, maybe?
I'm not sure about this one. The smooth richness made me wonder whether it might by an RyJ Reserva Real, but it seemed a little spicy at the start for that. Perhaps a Padilla Achilles torpedo? or possibly a La Perla Habana?
