Sorry for the delay Sam.

I believe I was given the toro size, about 6 x 50. It has a nice oily dark wrapper, but not black or died. The pre-light draw was good with a slight amount of resistance. Upon lighting, this cigar began smooth, mild, and slightly woody. After about 1 inch, the flavors really begin show themselves. Like many greats, at first there are only hints, and the longer you smoke the more pronounced each flavor becomes. The smoothness of this cigar cannot be overlooked. Even near the end when the smoke temperature is higher and the pepper is in full effect, there is no hint of harshness. Similar to many CC's in that way, but of course lacking that signiture CC flavor. Not to slight this great smoke, it has no shortage of flavor.

I can't thank you enough Sam for letting me try this great smoke for free!!!


Thanks again,
Mike

Nicely done Mike! I'm just glad you didn't burn your fingers on the nub!
