5 Vegas Relic Perfecto

Kreth · 08-30-2009, 04:06 PM

I snagged a single on cbid after winning another auction.

Humidor time: 3 weeks

Prelight: Another fugly wrapper, mottled and veiny. It looks old. No prelight draw due to the closed foot, but the cigar smells of coffee and leather.

Burn: Burn was uneven at first, an issue I often have with perfectos. It never got razor sharp, but evened out on its own and was reasonably straight from then on. Ash was flaky, but held on well. Draw was a bit tight, but loosened up as I got past the first inch or so. The burn time was about 65 minutes.

Flavor: Flavor was excellent, very creamy, with coffee, leather, cedar, and a faint touch of cinnamon taking turns. There was a fair amount of spice on the finish.

Summary: This is a great cigar if you can get past the looks. I think with a few months rest it would be amazing.
