A first form me and a pleasant surprise. First inch was all cream then a pop of pepper. Toothy wrapper draw was spot on. Strong flavored reminds me a bit of a pardon 3000 without the strong nicotine. A little wavy in the burn no correction needed. Seemed to settle out after the first 3rd as far as flavor and transitions. Nice cool burn. I only bought a single but will pick up a 5pack to see how they do with age. Only 2 months humidor time.

Good little cigar. Great smoke and flavor. Will buy again.

The closed foot on the cigar provides an immediate hit of spice that turns into a blend of spice and coffee pretty quickly. The draw and burn remained pretty adequate throughout and a boldness of rich tobacco lingered until the end.

Leather. Cedar. Burnt toast. Molasses.

Cold draw had deep stone fruit - cherry and prune - with some vanilla. A little tough to get going due to the way the wrapper is curled around the foot. Well worth the effort. First draws are a little tight but delicious. Cherry, chocolate, and leather prevalent. Very creamy. Near perfect burn line. Halfway through second 1/3 and I haven’t ashed yet. Chocolate is really coming through now. Very impressed by this cigar.

Bland, harsh, unpleasant

TL;DR - Natural Earth, earth, earth The Connecticut broadleaf wrapper is amazingly dark. It’s rustic with seams and veins, but as the name suggests, it’s supposed to be. Bands match well. This is my first pig-tailed cap and closed wrapper foot cigar. As expected, deep notes of hay and chocolate off the unlit stick. Pulling the pig tail off with teeth does not have the desired effect. Cut it, to be sure. The draw is perfection. Wheat, chocolate, dark coffee on the cold draw. Don’t miss the first few puffs; it’s almost entirely the flavor of the wrapper, which is bold, dark, earthy, peppery, leather. The foot smoke is pleasant, fragrant, nearly aromatic. TONS of thick smoke in the mouth and off the foot. The burn started in a wave due to the closed foot, but it corrected itself. First third didn’t produce the chocolate sweetness the cold draw hinted at. It stayed coffee and earth forward. Ash holds nicely. Into the second third and the flavors mellow out and blend together. A hint of sweetness shows up to add an effect of mildly sweetened cafe au lait, but the overall experience is still very earthy. The finish is moderate. Strength goes up to solid medium. Burn got uneven and required touching up a couple of times. No effect on flavor though. A little nuttiness appears at the end of the 2nd third. Final third gave a little floral note. Walked away from the cigar and it went out. Relight wasn’t too pleasant, even with a soft flame from a cedar stick, but once it got going again it was fine. Sweet note vanished, but the tobacco note had a little natural sweetness to it. Overall, home humidor aging will assist in developing balance and sweetness. Band came off easily. The nub wasn’t unpleasant, but it was more of the same. The price shows in its middling complexity. Finished with about an inch left. I had high hopes for this and it turned out to be just okay.
