Dark to ultradark baker's chocolate, and a berry-ish acidity and slight sweetness.

Chocolate turns more good-bitter, and there's a chariness along with.

Thoughts of sherry or something casked.

Tossed at the 3/3. It was approaching an over-bitterness that I wasn't caring for, but it may've been due to me letting it almost die. Purging did help bring the bitterness down a couple notches.

Judgement:

Great cigar. Won for $1, and it's a nice budget-friendly Cigarbid stick that'll be on the bidding menu. The 3/3 will either be the same or better next time, and if it's the latter, then 2/3 of this stick is well worth the buck. Gonna have to also find the other Carlos Torano I reviewed early on and give it another shot. Recommended.
