fissure's review of #4

Cigar #4 is a 5" x 50 ring gauge.

1. The cigar has a medium caramel colored wrapper with very few minor veins.

Aesthetics score 3

2. Construction was very nice on this cigar. It had no soft spots with a medium fill. Nicely rolled with a nice woodsy earthy smell.

Construction Score 4

3. The cigar has a perfect draw, with a little bit of smoke pulling through after taking a draw. The ash is nice and solid while being a light gray in color. Burns great for the first 1/3 and then needs a couple touchups. Produces lots of smoke.

Post Light Construction Score 3

4. This cigar starts off spicey with a little bit of acidity. After the first inch the acidity lifts and I am left with a strong black pepper spice. I would say med/med-full body.

Flavor and Strength Score 2.5

5. The finish is very peppery with a little acidity left on the palate.

Aftertaste score 2.5

6. Aroma consists of a medium strength woody smell. Not unpleasant.

Aroma score 3

7. Maybe a Don Pepin Cuban Classic? Too much black pepper for me. One of the DP's I do not/would not buy for myself.

Overall score 2.5

8. I would recommend this cigar for someone looking for a black pepper bomb. While not my forte, some people seem to love this.
