Casa Lovo Honey Tip Petite Corona 2/4/17

 

Appearance 

The wrapper is light brown in color with very little in the way of veins. There is a slight imperfection in the seam near the head but all the seams are tight. There is a light oil sheen.

Aroma

Mild earthy, cedar and tobacco with a hint of spice on the wrapper. Not much of anything at the foot. 

Prelight Draw 

Honey with cinnamon and light cedar.

1st

The honey dominates the profile with an odd flavor in the background kind of metallic. The burn and draw are spot on. The ash is light gray and tight. 

2nd

The metallic flavor continues with the honey/cinnamon spice in the background and on the finish. Burn goes off by almost 45* before beginning to self correct. 

Final/3rd

The metallic flavor continues thru to the end. 

Overall

The Casa Lovo Honey Tip Petite Corona started nicely but went downhill fast. I was wondering if the honey Tip was an attempt to mask the metallic flavor of the tobacco.
