Appearance -back to the pristine appearance of how the CL3 should be, reddish brown, smooth, and near flawless with no color variations.
Construction - the draw is perfect on this one, and the elasticity is good. No problems such as the ones present in the fourth of the series.
Pre-light taste - spicy cinnamon and tangy licorice. Light floral notes and coffee and vanilla tones give a pleasant combination of arousing flavours.
Initial lighting - the spicy cinnamon hits me like a bowl of 5 alarm chili. Tangy sweet and sour combined with the earthiness foreshadow the tastes to come.
Aromas - pleasant and rich vanilla and coffee aromas surround me, oh so good.
Flavours of the smoke - the draw being perfect on this one helps greatly to detect the wonderful flavours. Good complexity and rich flavours coat my palate, definitely a great combination this time around, especially when compared to the utterly disappointing predecessor. The spicy cinnamon and tangy sweet and sour licorice never leave the cigar, always present although the earthy vanilla and coffee do pick up towards the end of the cigar, and combined with the floral bouquet gives me a near sensory overload.
Summary - oh yeah, I'm feeling the nicotine buzz, and a pleasant long lingering after taste. This cigar never bores me unlike many of the other Dominican made cigars from other companies heralded as classics from other casual and aficionado smokers. Well balanced along with a perfect construction raises the heights of this cigar as one of the world's finest, despite what a lot of people may think. Yes, it is that good.
