Another day here in Afghanistan with nothing to do (which is a good thing in my profession), so I figured I would bust out one of these Ave Maria Knights Templar. This is a 6 x 48 toro. I must say that this is one of the best looking cigars I have ever seen. Near flawless construction with a great pre-light smell of fine tobacco. Not to mention, the coolest band EVER!
Cutting/Lighting: Punch cut. Light up like a champ. First draw was perfect. This stick puts of the smoothest smoke I have ever had. Full of rich creamy tobacco flavor.
Had to snap a few pics with the sun coming through here. Make the smoke glow almost a neon blue color. It was pretty cool.
First 1/3: Just a really complex flavor profile, nothing really overpowering. Just full of that smooth smoke. Nice long finish lasting to the next draw. The ash was almost pure white.
Second 1/3: Just absolutely amazing flavor. It isn't like most sticks were you can say, "I taste spice," or "I taste a nut flavor." It was just this cornucopia of flavor that fills the senses. Strength is a solid medium.
Final 1/3: Just more of the same. No changes at all which I didn't mind at all. Smoke time was a touch over an hour and a half.
Overall: To date, the finest cigar I have had. No complaints whatsoever. Glad I have a few more in the humi to season over the next few weeks.
