Smoking Monk Imperial Stout

[samiam2007]

Vitola: Toro
Length: (6.0)
Ring Gauge: 54
Wrapper: Maduro
Pairing: MILF Imperial Stout



As someone how loves imperial stouts, I was very excited to hear about this cigar and immediately snatched a box from cigarbid. When I got the box, there were some wrapper flaws and some of them even torn up (see photos).



But despite that, the burn was great and I love these cigars.

Appearance
Classified as a maduro wrapper, but not as dark as most maduro wrappers I have seen. It is also classfied as a med-full, I would classify this as more of a medium

Nose
A whole lot of sweet here. Like a cross between a creamsicle and a vanilla ice cream cone.

Taste:

1/3 - Very sweet. I would have almost thought that the tip was dipped, but it does fade out in the second third. The first third just tastes like a bunch of cream that you add to your coffee and a caramel.

2/3 - That sweetness is still there, but not as strong. A nice toasty nuttiness really develops.

3/3 - The sweetness is almost gone and that nice roasted nuttiness is still there with the creamy taste still in tact.

Don't let the sweetness fool you, this cigar is still really great and went really well with my

Wow, those are some torn up wrappers! And yeah I would never classify that as a maduro. Heck I've seen some natural wrappers that are darker than that.

Creamy and sweet, sounds tasty! I may have to try one soon.
