Gents,
Got this stick from Aaron through the n00b trade...It was in the mid-80s here today; so I couldn't wait to get home and hit up the smokin chair. On to the smoke:

Specifics
Vitola: Petit Corona
Length: 4
Ring Gauge: 40
Wrapper: Conn. Broadleaf
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Price: Free thanks to the n00b trade

Looks - Dark brown, solid construction, and a couple of small veins.
Prelight Aroma - Good tobaco, some molasses sweetness

First Third - SMOKE - and lots of it. Shocking amounts of of such a small stick ! Nearly perfect draw. Strong spice and pepper, no sweetness to speak of. Interestingly the aroma of the cigar at rest had sweetness and chocolate; but at this point I didn't find any while actually smoking it.

Second Third - Still lots and lots of smoke - amazing. The spice is still there, but fading as is the pepper...The cigar is turning into darker flavors of leather and dark malts, with a little bitter (in a good, beer way). Burn is very very even, although the ash only hangs around for about 3/4 of an inch. The draw did get tight around the 1/2 way mark; but it worked through quickly.

Last Third - Now the chocolate flavor comes out, along with some coffee and sweetness. Im really liking this cigar.

To the nub - Sweetness is gone, and dark chocolate ends this stick. Still quite aromatic and pleasant; I toothpicked this one

Wrap-up - Wow, one of the best cigars I've had yet. Aromatic and sweet at rest, and a real flavor powerhouse in your mouth. Burned excellent, didn't need any touch-ups. With the exception of the tight draw about 1/2 way through it was a perfect smoke.
