Great start to the week

First Third: Toasting gave off a light, earthy aroma with heavy smoke right away on a smooth draw. It smells almost like a Plasenciabut tastes way lighter with that classic tangy Cuban soil profile. Smooth smoke with no harshness and just a hint of pepper at the end of every draw. Very light toasted tobacco taste.

Middle Third: Picks up a creamier texture and a stronger earthy flavor, though it stays light and smooth. The cool smoke probably from ash build up keeps the pepper barely noticeable. A woody and leathery profile takes over with almost no sweetness, with that leather note developing more towards the middle.

Final Third: Moves into a more cedar/woody type of taste that loses what little sweetness was left. The aftertaste brings back a bit more pepper and a tangy, roasted earthiness. Ends on a more robust, harder wood flavor with a really nice mineral saltiness right to the finish.

Overall a great cigar

Been getting into this smaller format as a daily. Can't wait to try them!

This is currently my cart at Smoke-king. A load of stuff I’ve never had (there’s a Curivari Buenaventura Picadores 42 Corona on the list as well) so I thought I’d give ‘em a try. Not actually ordered them yet so other opinions would be appreciated.

First Third: Heavy, concentrated smoke on the initial light with a bit of pepper upfront—though that backed off quickly, so it might've just been how I lit it. Settled into a smooth smoke with a woody and hay type of taste. As it burnt down, the woodiness picked up into a really nice, dry cedar.

Second Third: Incredibly smooth with no real pepper left. Picks up a hint of spice alongside a dark espresso, earthy flavor and less like raw dirt and more of a light-roasted, dark chocolate vibe. The cedar mellows out and turns a bit sweeter here.

Final Third: Flavors developed really well into a complex, creamy wood and sweet cedar combo, dropping that hay note from the first third. Still getting that roasted coffee bean flavor with just a hint of bitterness on the aftertaste. No earthiness left, just a great smoke right down to the nub.

Surprisingly smooth and tasty. Great short smoke

The Tabernacle. Perfect post dinner smoke

For less than a tenner, this is a perfectly nice smoke. Nutty with some sweetness. Happy smoking!

Damm Lemon and a Comacho limited edition. Perfect summertime combo.
