Ive decided to start doing some reviews. They won't be long poetic descriptions or have amazing pictures so if thats what your into thats cool, but you won't find it here. My reviews will be what I'd consider no fluff just the stuff.


Wrapper - Mexican San Andres
Binder - Nicaraguan
Filler - Nicaraguan
Vitola - 6 x 54 Box Pressed Toro
Smoke Time - 1 hour 20 minutes
Pairing - Water
Price - $9



Pre light aroma - heavy spanish cedar, leather, tobacco, cocoa

Cold Draw - cocoa, cedar, tobacco

Appearance - wrapper not too oily, some noticeable veins, little tooth, uniform chocolate brown color.

Light - pepper, cedar, slightly nutty, pepper lingers in retrohale, light sweetness in finish mostly undistinguishable. Body is very dry and tannic, med-full.

1st third - Same as the first inch but the sweetness is identifiable as cocoa now. Pepper eases off a little but still plays off the cedar. Retrohale on the other hand is still all pepper and cedar.

2nd third - cocoa picks up with some roast coffee notes coming in while the cedar mellows. Some nuttiness, pepper, and sweet leather in the finish. Pepper mellows in retrohale making way for some leather. Overall body/strength is a light full. Mouthfeel not as tannic and dry.

Final third - Sweetness dies down to make all the flavors present and nicely balanced. Pepper picks back up in retrohale but still has noticeable leather and a lingering cedar presence. Full body, med-full strength.

Construction - nice even burn from light to finish, good smoke production, easy draw. Firm ash.
