 Appearance
A medium brown colored wrapper with a couple of thin veins. The seams are wrapped tightly. There is a light oil sheen on the wrapper. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots. Unbanded.

Aroma
Cedar, light spice on the wrapper. Cedar at the foot.

Prelight Draw
Cedar, licorice, mild spice.

1st
The initial draws bring notes of warm oatmeal. Don’t know where that came from. I don’t think I’ve ever tasted oatmeal in a cigar but that is what it reminds me of. Oatmeal with cinnamon sprinkled on it. The draw is perfect. Burn is spot on as well. Some light coffee notes join the profile at about an inch in.
Smoke production is at the medium range. The ash is medium gray and stacked. Ash held firm until removal.

2nd
Strength is medium. The finish is long with notes of oatmeal, light coffee and cinnamon.

Final/3rd
The well balanced flavor profile continues into the final/3rd. The coffee notes move from light to medium. The strength finishes at medium+. Flavor profile remains consistent right to the nub.

Overall
The Cachitos by GPC provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A well balanced flavor profile with a perfect draw and burn.
The Cachitos is a new sister line of 1502. A great quick smoke for when u don’t have much time.
A big thank you to Enrique @1502Cigars for the samples for review.
