All Saints Saint Francis (Robusto)
Lots of heavy spice in the initial puffs. Doesn't seem like peppery-spice, but there is a burn to it.
Lots of cinnamon throughout. Retrohales offer a unique texture that's very similar to smelling while accidentally inhaling ground cinnamon - there's a fine granularness to it.
Very dry throughout.
Thoughts of liquorice, gum drops, Christmastime and holiday spices/flavors, and leather. The first two gave a nice transition and break from the cinnamon.
Stick seemed to want to be smoked quicker than normal. Had to touch-up a couple time and change to a quicker pace to keep it burning even.
Judgement:
Great stick, and I'd probably enjoy it more on the second go-round. The uniqueness of the tastes and texture were very interesting. While I did enjoy it, I'm not sure if I could smoke this cigar often due to probably wanting a good break from the cinnamon-heaviness. Defintely want to check-out the other offering of All Saints. Pricepoint of $10ish is very reasonable for the blends quality. Recommended.
