Ave Maria Clermont - 5.5"X45 Burn Time : 1hr 20min. to the nub.

Wrapper - Ecuador Habano
Filler - Nicaraguan

Body - Medium Strength - Light

Prelight: Got this in a sampler from Horseshoe; thank you for this fine cigar sir. It's a nice looking cigar, other than the really nice looking band it's got very tight seams, smooth wrapper and a light hay aroma.

1/3 - Starts off great with a very smooth, creamy textured smoke with a great mouth feel. There's not a ton of smoke right off the bat, but there's more than enough with an easy-medium draw. Medium body, and a long finish (perfect for me). I'm getting a light toasty flavor, nuttiness and a general, silky smooth woodsy/tobacco mix type note. The burn is absolutely perfect, with flaky ash.

2/3 - Really enjoying this cigar by this point. At the start of this third, there's still more of the same great smooth and creamy smoke, and a slight nuttiness comes into the mix now. Once in a while I get a flash of sweet fruit, first time I'm getting that in any cigar and I'm almost not sure if I'm imaging it or not. The draw opens up and giving lots of easy smoke with a great smooth mouth feel. No strength at this point at all really.

3/3 - A spice joins in now, hanging around the back of my throat during the finish. Still perfect burn, great smoke output, no strength at all. I smoked this to the nub until I got too hot. Great cigar!

Overall : This is going on my to buy list, will definitely be on the look out for any deals on this cigar. Very enjoyable medium body flavors, with no strength which is a great combo for me. Long tasty finish throughout, and the burn was absolutely perfect with no attention needed from me. Perfect construction and burn is a big plus in my book. I would say I recommend this cigar, but I have a feeling most of you guys have already tried an Ave Maria.
