Wrapper: Ecuador Rosado
Filler:
Binder: Corojo and Criollo

Pre-light

The presentation of these is great, the band is elegant and the red foot band is a nice touch. There is a triple cap and a hard box-press. The Ecuador wrapper is very even in color and pretty smooth.There are very few veins and even seams.The aroma is very earthy with almost a wet mossy smell and oak. Pre-light draw is much the same.

First Third

The first few puffs are fairly peppery as you would expect from , but there’s a nice wood flavor to accompany it. The draw is very light, almost too much. A fairly prominent raw coca flavor comes out after 1/4 an inch and compliments the wood very well. More into the third, some really nice spices come out. The burn has gone a little askew, but the interesting spices make up for it. I’m getting some allspice and nutmeg.

Second Third

The flavors have gotten a little more smooth still with the baking spices and wood. There is definitely some black pepper to be found, still with the allspice and nutmeg.

Final Third

The draw has really taken its toll on the burn, and has needed to be fixes a few times, but the flavors are still good. It has gotten a little harsh in this third. Mostly pepper now, but more green instead of black. Finishes out pretty hot, but overall still a good third.

Final Thoughts

This was a good cigar, better than average. It has some really interesting flavors and unique spices. The too loose draw made the burn go wonky and the cigar get hot towards the end, but I think, knowing the quality of cigars coming out of , this is not a normal occurrence. I would definitely smoke this again, but I don’t know if it’s box worthy, maybe a 5er to see how it ages. I give this a personal score of 90.
