Default EO Cubao No. 3

Got this stick from coastietech in the NST.

Humidor time: 3 weeks

Prelight: Well constructed, with minimal veins. Prelight draw was easy, tasting of cedar and oak.

Burn: The burn was straight. Ash was solid and held on well. Draw was easy, but not loose. The burn time was about an hour.

Flavor: After the first few puffs, I thought to myself, "This doesn't seem to have the trademark Pepin spi-SWEET MOTHER OF GOD!!!" The spice kicked in, and hardcore. It was a bit overwhelming at first (and this was on a full stomach), but settled down after a half-inch or so into a nice creamy smoke that delivered on the prelight flavors, with a nice spice kick on the finish. Also once the spice throttled back, I got a nice coffee flavor that came and went.

Summary: Another tasty smoke from DPG. Other than the harsh spice kick to start, the flavors were excellent.
