Stolen Throne Cigars Preakness 150 LE in Review

BRAND: Stolen Throne
BLEND: Preakness 150 LE

WRAPPER: Ecuadorian
BINDER: Nicaraguan
FILLER: Nicaraguan

FORMAT: Corona (646)
ORIGIN: Nicaragua
INTENSITY: Medium

NOTES:
Heapings of helpings of buttery-sweet finely-ground white pepper wrapped in suede. Then dipped in caramel. Salted with a hint of florality. Also, banana rolled in brewers yeast. Peanut and cashew butters, whipped. Cedar floors and walls. Ginger.

Elegant as in a poet familiar with the plough. Combustion and construction each do their thing sans distraction. More subtle than simple rhymes, though ash does stack dimes. Smoke this after the ponies play, its languid pace will settle them jangled nerves.

Let's hear it for Journalism.

Dunbarton Cigars Red Meat Lovers Fritanga in Review

BRAND: Dunbarton T&T
BLEND: Red Meat Lovers Fritanga

WRAPPER: Connecticut Broadleaf
BINDER: Mexican San Andres
FILLER: Nicaragua, US (Pennsylvania)

FORMAT: Toro (652) Prensado
ORIGIN: Nicaragua
INTENSITY: Medium-full
SPICE: 3.5/5

NOTES:
Raw Sugar | Jamaican Jerk Seasoning | Espresso

The espresso is poured into a charred cedar cup, stirred with leather spoon. The raw sugar is in there, and in everysavorywhere, a curiously sweet-smoothing vibe in such murky inky umami depths. In the 2nd-3rd, it dominates thru a slight lull. Surrounding the whole thing is that Jamaican Jerk. It stays on your fingers while you snack on black licorice. Comes served on toasted pumpernickel. Perhaps this reads like a near impenetrable block of text, perhaps this smokes that way, but very much worth patiently breaking through.

Use the lull.

TASTE: A-
DRAW: A
BURN: B+
