Warfighter .50Cal Field Maduro Robusto 3/29/20

Appearance

A dark chocolate colored wrapper with a couple of prominent veins. The seams are tightly wrapped. It is toothy and oily. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.

Aroma

Earthy, cedar, dark chocolate, floral, coffee and spice on the wrapper. Chocolate, earth, cedar, spice, coffee and floral at the foot.

Prelight Draw

Dark chocolate, earth, cedar, espresso, floral and spice.

1st

The initial draws bring notes of cedar, earth, chocolate and spice. The draw is perfect. The burn is uneven. The ash is salt&pepper gray and stacked with a bit of bloom on one side. Strength is medium. Smoke production is at the medium range. Espresso notes join the profile. The ash held firm and straight until removal.

2nd

Upon inspection of the working end I find 2 tunnels, I at center of the bunch and one near the binder on one side which caused the uneven burn. After using simple physics starting in the 1st/3rd the burn is almost fully self corrected. A perfect amount of gomma was used to secure the band as there was no damage to the graphics upon removal of the band. Smoke production moves to the high range. The finish is long with notes of earth, cedar, espresso, dark chocolate and warm cinnamon spice.

Final/3rd

The well balanced and flavorful profile continues into the final/3rd. The profile remains consistent right to the nub.

Overall

The Warfighter .50Cal Field Maduro Robusto provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A well balanced and flavorful profile with a perfect draw and mildly erratic burn.

Definitely a cigar you should try!
