Mystery Cigar #2
Pre-light...a medium, brown, single cap robusto. Touch of hay in the smell and a little barnyard (not a bad barnyard smell). Used the v-cut on this one. Only one cut and it seemed to allow enough air through.
1/3....It lit fairly easy and the draw was not as light as cigar #1 but was still easy enough. I am immediately hit by pepper. Not a super strong hit but I can definitely taste it right away. It did have a slightly bitter after taste that faded quickly and was only there in the first half inch to an inch. Besides the pepper, which mellowed out, I am getting spice. It definitely burned the lips and tongue. Ash didn't get to an inch before it fell off. It was slightly windy and little pieces of ash were flying all over the place. Briefly went out, not sure why...I was sticking with it.
2/3.....I like the flavor. I can't seem to describe a taste involved. Maybe more nostalgic than that of "leather" "chocolate". It just flashed me back to early days of smoking. It was a "comfortable smoke". I think I am catching a little sweetness coming through and the pepper and spice have already left.
3/3.....unfortunately, I got hit with an errand that I couldn't talk my way out of. So I left about a third of the cigar to die out. I do wish that I could have smoked it till the end.
Overall, I liked the cigar. It wasn't a punch in the face pepper or spice. It wasn't overly sweet when it hit that taste. It just gave a nice little touch of flavor on a few different levels and left me thinking about smokes that I have had over the years.
I would smoke it again.
My guess is that this is the yard gar. I seem to have smoked more yard gars in my years than I have smoking the good ones. I still struggle with the "saving the good ones for special occasions mental illness".
Thanks Yaro.
