Appearance
A medium brown colored wrapper with a couple prominent veins. The seams are tightly wrapped. It has a very light oil sheen. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.
Aroma
Cedar on the wrapper. Cedar and a faint red fruit sweetness at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Cedar, dried red fruit and very faint spice.
1st
The initial draws bring notes of cedar, leather and black pepper spice all nicely balanced. The draw is a bit snug. The burn has a slight wave. The ash is medium gray and stacked. Strength starts out in the medium range. The black pepper tapers off some and cinnamon notes join the profile. Ash held firm til removal.
2nd
Upon inspection of the working end I find a couple of small tunnels on the faster burning side. The draw has opened up nicely. Strength moves to medium+. Burn has begun self correcting. Smoke production is at the low end of high range. A nice espresso note has joined the profile.
Final/3rd
The finish is long with notes of cedar, leather, espresso, almonds and a black pepper & cinnamon spice.
The flavor profile remains consistent right to the nub.
Overall
The CuriVari Archimedes Principio Robusto provideos an enjoyable smoking experience. A nicely balanced and flavorful profile with a nice draw and mildly erratic burn.
