Pre-Smoke:
Put my lips on the cap, and got a nice spicy zing - knew this bad boy was gonna be SPICY!
1/3 - 1/2:
Lots of pepper. I'm thinking it's more red pepper, because it's more fiery and sharp.
Great oscuro flavor. Slow retrohales give a nice spectrum of oscuro flavors - a maduro-yness, bit of chocolate, the signature oscuro sweetness...and I forget if there's more since I'm writing this well into the 3/3 - but it's great.
Afterwards:
The pepper and oscuro meld. Both flavors are there, but nothing really shines. Still enjoyable, but not as interesting.
There's an interesting thing, to me, (since I recently did the flavor wheel exercise) going on in the 3/3:
There's a slight tomato paste taste that came with both red pepper and cayenne im the exercise, and it's noticable to me in 3/3. Maybe it's just in my head, though.
Judgement:
Pretty good cigar. Not worth the $10 (B&M MSRP) I paid, but I did enjoy it. It lacked the complexity or enough hight-interest-endurance that $10 justifies. I'd definitely return for another, but hopefully it'd be cheaper. Glad to have smoked a stick from this Veteran Owned cigar company, and l'm looking forward to the Warfighter Habano I have, and future offerings.
