Appearance
A milk chocolate colored wrapper with a couple thin veins and a very smooth surface. The seams are tightly wrapped. The oil sheen is very faint. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.
Aroma
Baking chocolate, earth, cedar and a hint of spice on the wrapper. Cedar, earth and sweetness at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Earth, dried red fruit, chocolate, cedar and spice.
1st
The initial draws bring notes of cedar, earth and black pepper spice. The draw is firm but not snug. The burn has a slight wave. Smoke production is at the upper end of medium range. The black pepper spice fades a bit. The ash is light/medium gray and stacked but fairly tight. Strength is at medium. Coffee notes join the profile. The ash holds firm till removal.
2nd
Upon inspection of the working end I find a small tunnel which is the cause of the slight wave. The black pepper spice ramps back up. The black pepper spice tapers back again allowing the sweetness of the fruit and chocolate to join the profile.
Final/3rd
Strength moves to med/full.
The finish is long with notes of cedar, coffee, chocolate, dried red fruit and black pepper spice all nicely balanced. The burn gets a bit wavy. Flavor remains consistent right to the nub.
Overall
The WitchDoktor by AJ Fernandez for JR Cigars provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A good draw and burn with a flavorful profile.
