This smoke came coastietech (Joe) as a part of our NST. It was in my house about 5 minutes before I was ready to give it a whirl. I think it was the size and color that made me want to smoke it.
The wrapper is a gorgeous dark maduro. I used my v-cutter on this and the pre-light draw was very loose. Once I lit it up the draw became a bit tighter and was now quite nice. The first thing I noticed was tons of smoke coming from the draw. The smoke color off the end of the cigar was white, while the exhaled smoke was a dark grey.
This smoke can be broken down into halves. The first 1/2 was a nice earthy flavor. The second 1/2 turned to a light leather flavor. I was really enjoying the mounds of smoke flowing from this little cigar.
This was an enjoyable smoke. I took it down to the nub. I hope to be able to find more of these. I would call this a mild smoke.
