Magnate Green Maduro Churchill 8/21/16


Appearance 
The dark chocolate looking wrapper has tight, nearly invisible seams and very minimal veins. It has a little bit of tooth and a nice oily sheen.

Aroma 
Dark chocolate and a hint of spice on the wrapper. Dark chocolate, molasses and a hint of spice at the foot.

Prelight Draw 
Dark chocolate, molasses and spice on the lips and tongue.

1st
The dark chocolatey flavor surfaces on the initial draws along with the cinnamon spice. The molasses like flavor comes thru right away as well. The draw starts out a bit snug but that usually changes. The burn started out razor sharp but developed a wave. The ash is salt&pepper gray and fairly tight with a little stacking. The draw loosened up 1/2way thru the 1st/3rd. The ash tightens up in the 
2nd half of the 1st/3rd.

2nd
Smoke production has been in the moderate range. Strength has been medium. The burn develops a wide u shape but quickly begins to self correct. Flavors remain consistent. 

Final/3rd
The cinnamon spice becomes warm to begin the final/3rd. Burn self correction still in process. 
Overall the Magnate Green Maduro provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A balanced flavor profile of chocolate,molasses and warm cinnamon spice. 
Thanks again to Najib Green for the samples for review. Check their website to order for your smoking pleasure.
