1st

The Crux Classic starts out with notes of leather and wood with an underlying sweetness, maybe dried fruit. Draw is good. Burn is off a bit but I'll let it self correct as is normal. Ash is dark gray and tight. There is a bit of spice blending in with the cedar.

2nd

The spice starts out as a nice clean crushed red pepper. So far this Crux Classic is quite enjoyable. The burn line has fully self corrected. The ash holds on strong 1/3 at a time. The underlying dried fruit note is still there under the spicy cedar notes. Midway thru the cigar gets nice and creamy. Near the end of the 2nd/3rd the spice changes noticeably to more of a black pepper. While the dried fruit lingers on the finish with a little spice. The strength has hovered at a medium+.

Final/3rd

More of the now creamy leather and spicy cedar notes with the underlying dried fruit notes continue into the final/3rd. Just knocked off the ash which held on from the start of the 2nd til midway of the 3rd for fear of wearing it. Strong leaf! A very enjoyable medium+ strength full flavor cigar! A big thank you to @joelrogerscrux co-owner of Crux Cigars for the sample pack to review! Definitely something most cigar smokers will enjoy! GoGetchasome™!!
