Appearance
Milk chocolate looking wrapper with a couple prominent veins and nice tight nearly invisible seams. Has a very light oily sheen.
Aroma
Woody and slightly earthy scent on the wrapper & foot with a hint of cocoa.
Prelight Draw
Notes of wood, leather and earth.
1st
Notes of earth and wood show themselves right away. Has a slightly snug draw. The burn is close to perfect. The ash is salt&pepper gray and semi tight but only holds for about 3/4" to 1" at a time. There is a slightly metallic flavor a little past 1/2 way in the 1st/3rd. Draw has already loosened up before the end of this 1/3.
2nd
As the 2nd/3rd starts the metallic flavor disappears in favor of a very mild spice. Like a white pepper. There is a nice long creamy woody & leathery finish with a hint of the spice on the sides of the tongue. The strength so far has been medium. Same flavors have continued thru the 2nd. Only difference being the spice gets a little more pronounced near the end of 2nd/3rd.
Final/3rd
The final third continues the same flavor as the rest of the cigar. Tho it lacks complexity it was not lacking in overall smoking enjoyment. We don't always need a spice or flavor Bomb and the Crux Passport fits in the relaxing enjoyable cigar category. I will definitely smoke it again. Thanks again to Joel @Joelrogerscrux for the samples to review. GoGetchasome™!!
