Appearance
The Ecuadoran Connecticut wrapper is light brown in color with no prominent veins. There are a couple minor thin veins but the wrapper leaf is mostly smooth. The seams are tight and only visible at certain angles. The cap is nicely done. There is a nice oily sheen.
Aroma
Hay with a hint of spice on the wrapper and the same at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Sweet tobacco and a hint of spice on the tongue and lips.
1st
White cedar and a soft leather are the initial notes I'm tasting. The draw & burn are perfect from the start. The ash is light gray and tight. About an inch in there is a flavor that reminds me of olive or vegetable oil.
2nd
The cedar & leather notes roll into the 2nd/3rd. About the 1/2way point in the cigar the spice begins to develop, starting mild like allspice. The ash holds on to the transition at each 3rd. The strength has been mild thus far. The finish is long with the cedar, leather and spice notes evenly balanced.
Final/3rd
No changes in flavor other than the ramping up of the spice at 1" into final/3rd.
Overall this was a nice cigar for a person that enjoys a mild cigar with a consistent flavor profile.
Thanks to my friend Cory Grover of Famous-smoke.com for the samples for review.
