MY PERSONAL SCORE: 82
Started out with some good flavour and died down by halfway.
PRE-LIGHT NOTES
Brown wrapper with not real noticeable veins. The seams were noticeable. Fairly firm throughout without and soft spots. Cold draw had flavours of raisins and clove with a bit of resistance.
SMOKING NOTES
Right from the start was a blast of Clove and Black pepper spice with some wood notes. Smoke was fairly spicy with a very short finish flavour of pepper. Retro hale was primarily wood in flavour. Second third held the same flavour notes but grew fainter right to the midpoint. From there the finish was shorter in duration even into the final third. Flavours fell off more and more as I progressed through the cigar. The burn line was very wavey and inconsistent.
STRENGTH
Medium
AFTER-SMOKE NOTES
The smoke aroma remained consistent with clove and black peppers. Smoke production was at a medium. Another cigar is required to determine if this cigar was a one off.
CONTEXT
I was with a friend (Friend’s Garage.)
