My original review via an excerpt from THIS 4/13/17 Boxing City Podcast, I quote me:
"Some lumpiness on barrel, some loose seams, but an even draw and straight burn. Flavors notes were a medium+ delivery of cream, pale nuts, loaded diner-style coffee, light orange blossom honey, nougat, and just a hint of tire fire via the Kentucky fire-cured (which mellowed during the 1/3). Medium bodied, light-medium strength'd. Low to medium complexity, nuance, and transition. Nicely, calmly balanced."
THE REDUX in
A CIGAR AFICIONADO-esque 25 WORDS
A well-performing mild and mellow Connecticut Toro-Gordo. Creamily smooth notes of white pepper and caramel with oak bracing. Flowers and nuts bring minutely subtle complexities.

FINAL GRADE: B+
