It's a very dark tasting cigar. Thought it was maduro, but the wrapper isn't maduro. Bitter, but not in a bad way.
A heavy smokey flavor throughout.
Not sure of the complexity.
Full bodied. Full flavored.
The mouth residual is like bittersweet ultra dark chocolate, and heavy.
There's a very nice bite on the palate, during and after the retrohale. Not sure if this was the nicotine, or if it was a peppery sensation that only bites the palate.
Not peppery through the nose.
CI says dark fruit tastes - didn't get that, but 1/2 through some strawberry cream popped outta nowhere for a couple puffs, and was very nice. Couldn't find it afterwards.
Solid burn, and great draw.
Judgment:
Not sure where I stand. I was back and forth on my liking and inteterest. Definitely need to smoke more than one of these to gain either an appreciation or to acquire a taste for it. Definitely unique (at least to me). Definitely worth a revisit, but I'm not dying to get back to it. I'll look for a fiver next time - only bought a single. I'd definitely pair with a whiskey, or maybe even a port next time. Worth the $2.50 or so I paid.

Lost no more
Thursday Night cigar.
Roma Craft Intemperence Whiskey rebellion 1794 Jefferson 4.5x52. The day's snow's been replaced by a thin layer of ice, fairly clear skies, very little wind, cold, but not so to limit the pleasure of smoking at the end of a long day.

These are often overlooked, but I believe they’re great smokes. I think it’s the Man’s (Fuente) go to smoke
