Jake Wyatt Cigar Co. Appendix II in Review

lo-fi & lovely

Jake Wyatt Cigar Co. Appendix II

WRAPPER: 
Ecuadorian Connecticut w/ Mexican San Andres Maduro accents
BINDER: Dominican
FILLER: Dominican

FORMAT: Robusto
ORIGIN: Dominican Republic
INTENSITY: Mild/Mild-medium

NOTES:
Suede | Nougat | Orange Julius

Quite creamy, full & round. Not much delineation but a calm mellow richness seems the goal--& is accomplished. Lots of suede, light leathery oils alongside chicken coop/pale earthiness, form the core. Nougat sweetly reaches out from there. Some boiled peanuts. Cereal grains. A funky fungal quality commands the mid-palate, takes some getting used to. Coarse-ground white pepper thru the nose.

Balanced and even-keeled. At mid-point, I swear to God as my witness, pumpkin spice softly enters... enough to make UGG boots from the existent suede. Totes adorbs! More fungal notes, deeper excellent nuances--totes not contextually registered as athlete's foot. & if it were, that'd be on me, not the smoke. All told a smooth operator, bright thru dustiness. Simple. Almost a comfort food of a smoke. With a tramp stamp.

Draws well, at times a tick hesitant-snugly never egregiously-so. Burn happens on a bit of a wobble, although nothing near a re-touch is ever mandated. All-'round a decently built stick that operates as easily as it's delivered. In the 3/3, a hint of mineral soapiness sorta shampoo-like thing comes through and I think I smell-taste this giggling chick's hair. An interesting addition to a sweet-whispered room-note.

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