A Labor Day weekend smoke for me. Aged approximately 4 years. On the light had a bitter smack that didn't bode well, but settled down to the FFOX I know and enjoy in the first third. Lots of Fuente twang, citrusy and peppery notes on the tongue and nose. Great aroma. Half mark is great, hitting every NC flavor button I like. Citrus, leather, cedar with background notes of mustiness and Roquefort. The minor amount of bitterness doesn't get in the way. I have a buzz at the 2/3 mark. Bitterness creeps up in the finish but it's not overpowering, more like a good IPA.

Recommended, but don't overpay... A lot of these flavors can also be found in the Hemingway line for less.
