GTO Cigars Pain Killer Corojo 4/30/15


Appearance
Milk chocolate brown wrapper with a light oil sheen. It has a couple prominent veins. The seems are fairly tight.

Aroma 
Barnyardy scent on the wrapper and sweet molasses at the foot.

Prelight Draw
Molasses and a hint of spice.

1st
I find a citrusy(Tangy) note immediately in the first few puffs. The spice begins to show itself right away but is just a mild red pepper at this point. The cigar has a perfect draw. The burn line is nearly perfect as well. The ash is light gray and semi tight with just a few flakes at the 1" mark. Ash dropped at 1 1/4" mark. 

2nd
A woody note began to emerge near the end of the 1st/3rd and has continued to develop into the 2nd. The aroma reminds me of a few times my dad would put hickory chips on the BBQ. Burn & draw have continued to b perfect. Ash has tightened up nicely. Getting some coffee notes albeit very light. The spice has picked up to a nice Pimenton(spanish paprika). 

Final/3rd
Prior flavors continue thru the final/3rd. A very nice flavorful medium+ strength smoke. Thanks to Oscar for the samples to review
