Pre-light: This another beautiful stick I got from Cigarsforwarriors.net . It has a very dark brown, rich looking wrapper. Nice tight seams and small little veins. It has full flavor on the pre-light sniff.
Cutting/Lighting: I am trying a punch cutter for the first time on this cigar. Looks like it worked pretty well. Lit up without an issue. Nice smooth draw. Plenty of creamy smoke. Initial flavors are a deep but not overpowering tobacco flavor with a hint of bitterness.
First 1/3: Not much changes in the flavor profile. Still a lot of rich creamy smoke. I would say that it full bodied but mild strength. Nice burn line and gray-white ash production which fell off after about 0.5 inches.
Second 1/3: More of a burned black coffee flavor. It's bitter but surprising smooth. Still lots of creamy smoke and a nice finish that lasts until the next draw.
Final 1/3: Not much different in taste than the second 1/3. Still with great smoke. Strength is a medium but the body is full.
This was a pretty good little stick. The Joya de Nicaragua line in general are good. I wish this one had a little more strength to it but all in all it was enjoyable. And I enjoyed feeling like a Columbian dictator while smoking it.
Again, thanks to Cigarsforwarriors.net for sending this stick out to our unit.
