Crowned Heads Four Kicks (Robusto)

[chain_gang]

Lots of smooth pepper, some leather, and a cool-to-the-taste undercurrent layer on the initial puffs, and throughout the 1/3 - 1/2. Not dark pepper, so probably a white pepper. A SLOW retrohale is tremendous, and HIGHLY recommended.

Sadly, the pepper begins to fade back around the 2/3 - 1/2 mark, and a toastyness pairs along with. Pretty sure it's the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that starting to shine with this transition.

Maybe a tad of citrus in the 2/3.

Had burn issues near the 3/3 - a third just wouldn't stay lit well. Not sure if it was me or the stick. Ended up tossing much earler than hoped - somewhere in the 3/3. Just didn't get a good smoke outta it.

Judgement:

Outstanding stick - only because of the 3/3. Very confident this stick will score at or near the superb level on my next encounter - because,...god damn, was that retrohale spectacular. Allowing the smoke to gently roll out of the nose...oh, man...I don't know if there's a better flavorful pepper bomb stick that comes close. Recommended. Probably highly recommended next time...stay tuned.

Very nice review man.
Wish I were able to do better reviews, but I just don't pick up all the subtle flavors most use in there reviews.
I'm pretty much either i liked it or I didn't for the most part when I do a short review, which I only do when posting a Cigar in one of the what did you smoke today type threads. Then I like to name the exact marca and vitola, and say a few sentences about it

Thanks a lot for the compliment, bro. I try to contribute as much and too the best I can.

Ya know, if it's something you wish you were better at - ya just gotta write. Don't worry about nailing it - you will eventually. It's just like any other thing that requires a flexing. I personally believe that the writing helped me indentify and interpret the cigars I've smoked. Thoughts are one thing, but it brings a bit more to life when you write it and interpret it to another.
