Appearance -another reddish brown hue wrapper, no imperfections bordering on flawless. Smooth, although not the glistening appearance usually seen in the catalogues, but still pleasing.
Construction - the draw is a bit tight, however the elasticity is still good and I am still able to pull from the cigar adequately.
Pre-light taste - spicy, spicy spicy. Very little tangy flavours and more earth comes through.
Initial lighting - tastes like Emiril had a hand in making this recipe. BAM! There are light notes of tangy licorice peaking through the dominating tingly spice and earthy coffee and vanilla flavours.
Aromas - there is this perfume I am totally infatuated with, and when I asked a girl about it, she said it was something called "Warm Vanilla Sugar". Just can't get enough of it, and this cigar, although not exactly the same, does bring in the same enjoyment.
Flavours of the smoke - the tight draw makes this cigar a bit hard to grasp, as I smoke it down spicy cinnamon overpowers everything else. Elements of earth and tang are not as strong, but do make subtle cameo appearances once in a while. This particular cigar is unbalanced, but still tasty.
Summary - Another average of the box. When they are good, they are great, and when they are like this, they are enjoyable. Despite this particular cigar's shortcomings, I still count them as indispensable from my rotation, and continue to enjoy all the nuances of complex, or in this case, lack of complex flavours. Spicy is good too.
