MBombay Kesara Pyramid 2/14/16

Appearance 

Light brown wrapper with fine veins. Tight invisible seams. There is about a 1/2" of exposed binder & filler.

Aroma

A faint aroma of hay on the wrapper and hay and a hint of spice at the foot.

Prelight Draw

Floral notes with hay and a hint of spice.

1st

First draws bring notes of dry toast to the palate. The hay notes are still prominent as well. There is a bit of the floral coming through as well. Once the wrapper begins to burn there is a definite tea flavor. The tea is a green and orange tea mix. About an inch in the spice arrives albeit just a hint on the sides of the tongue. A sour note shows itself intermittently. The ash is salt & pepper gray and fairly tight. The draw is almost perfect. The burn is razor sharp. 

2nd

The strength has been mild to medium since the start. The spice which was just a hint in the 1st/3rd is now present in the form of warm cinnamon. The finish is medium in length with notes of toast, cedar, tea and warm cinnamon. Smoke production is light/medium. Midway thru 2nd the strength goes to medium+. 

Final/3rd

The flavors are melding together nicely. The melded flavor continues thru to the nub. 

Overall the Kesara Pyramid provides a very enjoyable smoking experience. It's mildly complex and full of flavor. Draw and burn were spot on throughout. A great cigar to start the day.
