$7.69 – Smoky’s of Northville

Off the Light: moderate soil earthy tone, light-medium coffee and a nice woody style.  As the smoke continues moderate soil earthy tones, nice touch of cedar wood, light/moderate coffee, sweet and lightly toasted tobacco leafs, light spice that reminds me of a dusty white peppercorn.  I’ll give it a 4 on my strength scale during the first half.

Second Half: soil, wood, okay let’s call it forest floor, with a nice touch of light moderate coffee.  With the small ring gauge it does burn a little on the warm side so make sure to take your time smoking this little stick.  Puff this cigar too fast will make the overall profile a bit more robust.  Take your time and you get all the good earthy notes that this cigar has to offer. 

My Strength Rating: 4.5 – the smooth style helps to keep it on the medium range.

To the Point: this is a tasty robusto.  Pair this with a nice Alt or Nut Brown beer. 

Tonight I enjoyed this cigar with the Detroit Brewing Beer called Detroit Dwarf.  The lightly toasted caramel and the nutty notes of the beer paired well with the tasty earthy tones of the cigar.
