Appearance - a glistening reddish brown wrapper adorned with very few small veins and no imperfections.
Construction - the draw iand elasticity are perfect again.
Pre-light taste - spicy cinnamon and tangy licorice.
Initial lighting - a blast of spice with impressive earthy vanilla tones
Aromas - a heavy vanilla lingers around the atmosphere in the presence of this cigar
Flavours of the smoke - not particularly balanced, but still a great cigar. Spicy cinnamon and sweet vanilla overpower the licorice tang. Probably one of the sweetest CL3s I have ever smoked, its flavours are complex and savory. I might liken the flavour profile to a good tiramisu with plenty of cinnamon in lieu of the strong vanilla notes. I am drinking only water with this cigar, but in hindsight it would hold up to a good cappuccino and a rich smore.
Summary - Slightly unbalanced, but significantly good. An impressive combination of draw, construction, complex flavours with a smooth tangy licorice finish and a spicy savory vanilla aftertaste. If only all of them were like this one. I have been acquiring these cigars through CigarMonster at roughly $40 per box of 20, and needless to say the value of this one stick exceeds it's $2 price tag, performs better than most cigars in the $5-$8 range, and on par with the more famous Dominicans in the double digit price range. 1 more to go, and then a final summary on the average grab from an average box.
