El Mejor Emerald Robusto

I was gifted this stick by Dunkel after mentioning in another thread that I wanted to try one.

Humidor time: 1 month in Dunkel's humi

Prelight: This cigar comes dressed in cedar, with a pigtail and shaggy foot. The corojo wrapper has a nice sheen, and is slightly veiny. Prelight draw is easy, tasting of cedar and oak.

Burn: The burn was a bit uneven before I hit the wrapper, but corrected on its own. Ash was flaky, but fairly solid. Draw was easy, and the burn time was just a bit over an hour.

Flavor: This cigar had a nice creamy, woodsy flavor with hints of ligero spice throughout. CI lists this cigar as "medium-full." I'd rate it closer to medium

Summary: I really enjoyed this stick. The shaggy foot added a little complexity to the flavor. I think I've found a new low-cost smoke to add to the rotation.
