Filler: Blend of Nicaraguan Long-leafs
Size: 7 x 50 Churchill
My Strength Rating: 6.5
Off the light there is a good toasted rye bread note. The taste starts to build in character during the first third. A robust earthy and full dark roast coffee style becomes the main profile. There is a dry yet rich mouthfeel with each puff. I’ll give this cigar a five, on my strength rating, off the light and then it builds to a 6.5 during the first third.
As the experience moves to the mid-point there are still good earthy notes mingling with the dark roasted coffee notes. There is an undertone of sweet cedar which can be overlooked because of the robust scorched earth flavors. The strength rating hangs around that 6 texture on my scale.
The ash is gray and holds for a strong inch or so. The burn has been even throughout. This has been a good robust smoke so far. While the mouthfeel comes across a bit dry it maintains a rich style.
As the cigar burns into the final third the earthy and roasted coffee notes are still flavorful. I believe the strength rating is just short of seven. The cigar does not get harsh or build to any bitter notes.
This cigar would be good paired with a dark roast coffee, a porter or stout beer.
