Mystery Cigar #1
It’s a 5x54ish box press cigar with a medium brown wrapper. It has a few veins and spots on the leaf, but it’s very soft and smooth to the touch. The box press is more rounded than a sharp-square. A nice pack, not too tight with a little bounce.
I got a very tasty salt and pepper blast off the light up. Flavors were a bit mellow to start. I got some leather, cinamon, brown sugar, and a slight bit of woodiness. Halfway down was a major shift in flavors. It went full vegetal mode with some mineral like flavors. Not sure what minerals taste like, but that’s what I’m gonna call this. A little black pepper and charred wood joined the party too.
The cigar performed fairly well. I had to do a few relights, but it might've been due to me not smoking quickly enough. The draw resistance was almost perfect, and by the halfway point it was putting out lots of smoke. This cigar had some strength to it. It kicked me in the balls, and I ate a meal prior to smoking it. I had to tap-out heading into the final third. If not for that I probably would've nubbed this one. My guess is “above $10.” Thanks again.
