JC Newman Cigars Havana Q in Review

WRAPPER: Ecuadorian
BINDER: Nicaraguan
FILLER: Nicaraguan

FORMAT: Double Churchill (752)
ORIGIN: J.C. Newman PENSA, Nicaragua
INTENSITY: Medium

NOTES:
Suede | Orange-Vanilla | White pepper

It feels more Petty than Tom, to harshly or otherwise critique a cigar at this pricepoint. I will say it's a perfectly suitable anytime the sun shines everyday offering. Sweet and mostly smooth and creamy enough. Gentle kick of spice. Nice tangy balance. Pale savoriness sprinkled w/ salt.

Burn threatens to form a runner at lighting but smooths into mere gentle curvature. Draws a tick hesitantly in spots but never egregiously-so. The assemblage of seams & cap holds quite well, indeed. Perhaps in a smaller format, this accessible on all counts offering might even shine-some.

TASTE: B

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