Regina Cigars Michael

WRAPPER: Corojo
BINDER: Undisclosed
FILLER: Undisclosed

FORMAT: Toro (652)
ORIGIN: Honduras
STRENGTH: Medium

NOTES:
Sunny-bright earthen notes painted in dusty/fusty citrus-y strokes. White pepper in a tick of creamy cushion. Soft w/ just the slightest smooth tingle. A bit dry. Undertones of toffee, coffee. chicken coop underbelly. A vague cocoa butter/vanilla extract comes at the 1/2 w/ an also vague then fleeting ginger accompaniment.

There is subtle complexity in the sweetly-spiced realm, & gentle nuances in its creamy citrus earthiness. Although ultimately, it's rather linear & one dimensional -- superficially at least. Kind & attainable; not a "wow" in the house. Tenderly approachable. Smokeablity is quite high.

Cap gets a bit spongy & peels a 1/4-tick but offers no hindrance to draw. Burns on an even-line. Ash is dry-flaky but not egregiously. Even the flaws here are un-excitable. Nothing transgresses nor impresses. The 3/3 has a bit of squish to it seen coming the previous third. Smoke out-put fluctuates. The culminating room-note is a bit drying... a suede-earth thing.

FINAL GRADE: B
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
