From my own collection.
Location: This review was made indoors in Mellgrens cigar lounge.
Information:
International blend with leaves harvested in Nicaragua and in a second enigmatic country. Showing a nice habano oscuro (sp.) colour, the wrapper comes from Jalapa valley while binder and fillers are harvested mainly in Esteli, Condega and Omotepe regions. An enigmatic viso leaf grown outside Nicaragua brings a distinctive personality to the tastes and aromas.
Size: 6 1/2×58, Toro.
Wrapper: Milk chocolate, oily and smooth with tiny veins.
Construction: Firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Cedarwood and earthy sweetness.
1st third: Starts with a milk chocolate, cinnamon spice and mapel oak wood.
2nd third: Keeps the same.
Burn: Burns wonky, flaky but still stable white-ish ash.
Smoke: Voluminous white smoke, cool feeling on the tongue and a light draw.
3rd third: Very monotonous flavours as no changes where made.
Duration: 17:20-19:25, 2h 5min.
Conclusion: A medium bodies cigar with a medium strength profile.
Result: In my book this is an 89 point cigar.
