Deadwood Sweet Jane - Cigar Review

Deadwood by Drew Estate
Sweet Jane 546

... Plus FREE BONUS chocolate review.
NOTES:

Sweetness brung by burnt molasses, caramelized sugar, darkly as the fallen night,
Forsooth, dark chocolate with dime-store vanillin, doth soften that cloying might.

Espresso and a pipe-bowl a' Cavendish, mesquite alit in glowing fire-place --
Made savory'd by soy sauce and spiced with peppercorn, anise, and mace.

A perfect draw, spongy pack, seams doth hold in this compliment sammich.
Combustion is smoky, warm -- for the thing is lit; under-belly? Compost ditch*.

IN ADDITION:
Gentlepersons, read my Crazy Alice review. 
Gentlepersons, read my Fat Bottom Betty review. 
This here Sweet Jane is the final act of Deadwood’s "Yummy Bitches." 
Please don't tell my Rabbi I type such filth. 

Sweet Jane, despite the moniker, is the piquant-y-est a' the bunch. A tick scorch'dly so.

"Deadwood’s Yummy Bitches are wrapped in a Maduro wrapper and are blended with aromatic and exotic tobaccos that bring out the natural sweetness of the cigars." - Drew Estate is taking Deadwood’s Three Yummy Bitches National, 7/23/16 Press Release. There seems to be on-line confusion as to whether or not this is a flavored offering or not. Gentlepersons, think the sweetness of Baccarat, but in an actual cigar.

According to Vaughn Boyd, owner of Deadwood Tobacco Co. in South Dakota (wherest the brand solely resided before going national), "Sweet Jane was born in the brothels of this historic city. She is naughty and got her reputation for breaking hearts and bringing the strongest men to their knees." There's a sentence or two of back-story for each vitola. I think the bands are cool. I like to party.

MORE ADDITION:
I wrote a chocolate review!:

Ghirardelli
Dark Chocolate 72% Cacao 
"Twilight Delight"

Eye-ballin' the confectionery offers a tick less sheen than I'd prefer, though it's placed over a nice reddish-hue'd under-belly. Twixt is a rather... chocolate-y complexion. Somewhat muted fruity vanilla aroma. Smooth hand-feel, dryly-so. Snap happens somewhat splinter'd, but shows well-temper'd smoothness sans bubbles. Flavor is rather citrus-y with an undertone of coffee. Some toffee, then mo'. Length is moderate and grainy; shows a nice black cherry note, then bitters.

*Trench composting is supposedly an easy way of composting. I can't vouch personally.
