Bought at Sweets n Cigars in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Location: This review was made indoors in a cigar lounge.
Information:
Wrapper: USA Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic
Origin: Dominican Republic
Factory: Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia (Dominican Republic)
Box: Sold in 20 count boxes.
Release: 2001
Availability: Limited Yearly Production of twice a year.
Size: 5.9×64, Torpedo Boxpressed
Wrapper: Coffee bean brown, oily but rough texture feel with small veins.
Construction: Fairly firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Oakwood.
1st third: Starts with freshly baked farm bread, some light floral sweets, cacao and oakwood.
2nd third: Fairly unchanged, the flavours are more coherent than in the beginning.
Burn: Burns fairly sharp with a firm but with some flakes and stable white-ish ash.
Smoke: Voluminous smoke with a medium heat feel on the tongue with a medium light draw.
3rd third: Notes of black tea, lemon zest, red pepper and cashew nuts added to the mix.
Duration: 22:25-00:15, 1h 50min.
Conclusion: A full bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. More flavourful and heavier body than the “Don Carlos The Man’s 80th Eye of the Shark” so in my opinion a more interesting smoking experience.
Result: In my book this is a 91 point cigar.

Thank you very much for reviewing. I’ll keep an eye out for this one now especially as I loved the normal shark so would love one with the flavours dialled up.
