Gunslinger Pale Face Double Robusto 9/9/18


Appearance
A light brown or tan colored wrapper with a couple of prominent veins. The seams are tightly wrapped and well hidden. There is a very light oil sheen on the cigar. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.

Aroma
Cedar, dried fruit and floral on the wrapper. Light graham cracker, cedar, dried fruit and spice at the foot.

Prelight Draw
Cedar, light graham cracker, dried fruit and mild spice.

1st
The initial draws bring notes of cedar with the mild spice. The first half dozen draws were a tick snug then it loosens up. The burn line is almost perfect at 3/4” in. The ash is light gray and fairly tight. The dried fruit notes come alive right near the end of the 1st/3rd.

2nd
Smoke production is at the medium range. Strength is medium as well at this point. Burn is wavy. Light roast coffee notes join the profile. Black pepper notes join the spice portion of the profile. Strength moves to medium+. The black pepper spice notes are vacillating back & forth in strength.

Final/3rd
The flavor profile remains unchanged into the final/3rd. The spice becomes a crushed red pepper and black pepper combo. Flavor profile remains consistent right to the nub.

Overall
The Gunslinger Pale Face Double Robusto provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A well balanced and flavorful profile with a perfect draw and near perfect burn.
Thanks again to my brother Wes @WesSmith62 for the @OutlawCigarCo samples for review!
