Disclaimer, this is my first time doing something like this
Ok so here goes
Cigar #1 from big Papa W
Cigar is about a 5.5" 50ish ring
Dark mottled black and brown. The wrapper seems dry not oily. Bumpy, veiny, and all in all probably one of the ugliest stick I've come across. Not getting much if anything from smelling the stick. Deep V cut give me a slight chocolate smell at the cut. Cold draw likewise is light without much going on. Having a root beer to accompany it.
Start time is 1715hrs
First 3rd:
Very mild chocolate, and a primary taste I can't place, it's something I can't say I've had in any cigar to date. Very medium to start and quite 1 dimensional out of the gate. And stays that way through first.
Second 3rd:
No more chocolate. Still getting that unknown taste. I think I like it, just wish I could place it. A bit of sweetness creeping in but that taste is getting more pronounced and keeping it back somewhat. I'm thinking the taste is something like umami, earthy, and mushroom. A bit musty in a good way. Still very medium
Last 3rd:
Moved to medium/full. Getting pepper and spice now, that "flavor" is still there and much stronger now. Baking spices like cinnamon and cloves, though slight. Bit metallic that I can feel on my fillings. Pepper is front and center and lingers on my tongue. At the nub it kind of just went flat.
Smoke time 1hour 10min
Construction was great burned perfectly and needed no touch ups. Ash was nice and white and held strong. I didn't dislike it, though I'm not sure it's something chase after for another ride. While there was some transitions, it seemed mostly one dimensional for the most part. initial guess is yard gar. But I haven't had #2 or 3 yet.
