Appearance
Silky light brown wrapper w/ a few prominent veins. Seams are tight. The cigar has a light oil sheen.
Aroma
Barnyard on the wrapper. Sweetness at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Citrus and earthy
1st
Initial draws reveal citrus notes with some herbal and floral notes. Interesting start! Had to ash at about 5/8" in due to the ash flowering. Draw was a bit snug at start but is already loosening. The burn is near perfect. Ash is medium gray and semi tight. Near the end of this 3rd a spice note enters.
2nd
The spice has taken on the paprika sensation. The citrus,herbal,floral and earthy notes are still present albeit in a lesser prominence.
Final/3rd
The spice has tapered off a bit bringing a better balance with the other flavors. The strength has been medium to this point where it is now leaning to medium+. Overall this Acme Premier Ecuador Habano has been an enjoyable smoking experience.
Thanks again to my brother JD @HN_JAD for sending the samples for review.
You are welcome!
