WRAPPER: Connecticut Broadleaf Rosado
BINDER: Nicaraguan
FILLER: Dominican, Nicaraguan
FORMAT: Churchill (750)
ORIGIN: Dominican Republic
INTENSITY: Medium
NOTES:
Suede | Citrus | Clay
A fuzzy savoriness and a powdery sourness. Poultry-type flesh with citrus accompaniment somewhere between lemon and orange. Lots of earthen notes, clay, terra cotta, hiking trail. Some chicken coop marries dirt with flesh. A dash of white pepper and a plank of softwood. Consistent but delivered as a singular note for the most part. Not complex, not quite nuanced. A cardboard lilt dries-some.
A bit like yelling into a pillow.
Draws with a tick too much resistance. Ash grows well. No retouches are needed. A big vein, crimped in spots, runs its full length. Smoke out-put is -moderate, yielding a muted room-note of the muffled top-notes. Smokes smoothly-soft to the point of lulling. All told, a fairly lovely though underwhelming cigar. Tries here and there to impress but none of the attempts hold; falls back to pleasant. Nothing wrong with that.
