1/3:
Earthy maduro. Not sweet. No darkness.
Powerful body and full flavored. Breath-taking during regular pulls.
Lots of pepper and/or a kind of spicy pepper spice. Very dominate.
A thought of a slight metallic-yness and/or mineral oil crossed my mind early on in the 1/3. Maybe fleeting or not really there to begin with.
2/3:
There's a gradual shift towards a cloudiness in what's going on. Noticeable downtick in ther pepper/spicy pepper, but still present in the background. May be a wood - remember reading a review of the Cuba Aliado I recently had, and a lot of reviews mentioned cedar. I bring this up, because that same "cloudiness" flavor that was in the Aliado, was here in the Sabor. Maybe a link? Maybe that's a cedar note? Still unsure.
3/3:
Cloudiness becomes more defined to a type of woody-ness. Maybe a bit of diluted tea.
Still pretty powerful on regular pulls.
Metallic-y note comes back. Maybe mineral-y. It has a slight zing, and is good- bitter. Very noticable on the residual, and lingers.
Construction:
Superb burn and pull.
Judgement:
Pretty good and pretty interesting stick for the $7 MSRP range. There's different earth aspects going here that kept it interesting and maybe unique from other earthy maduros. Like the other earthy maduros I've recently had, I believe this stick will score higher on a second encounter. Recommended.
