I'm back from dodging mortar rounds to give ya the scoop of this little beauty. It os the 5 Vegas High Primings box press. I got this in a nice little sampler from CI (nice price also). Pre-light: well-rolled medium brown wrapper, tight seams, minimal veins. A sweet tobacco aroma.
Cutting/Lighting: A punch cut and lit pretty well. Nice open draw. First tastes are a sweet tobacco with a hint of nuts and spices. Lots of creamy smoke.
First 1/3: No big changes in the flavor. Finish is nice a sweet and kinda short. Burn line is a little off.
Second 1/3: Still with the same flavor profile. As you can see, the ash is hanging on. It is a little flowery but no biggie. I had to straighten out the burn line some. Strength is a medium, nice little morning buzz to it.
Final 1/3: You can see the burn line again needs some attention but the flavor is outstanding. No changes to the draw or the finish. Clocked in at just under an hour.
Overall: Well worth the money. I will leave the rest in the humidor for a while to see if they change at all. Otherwise very pleased.
