Nicaraguan Puro

Construction - Lumpy

Drink - Coffee w Brandy

Good - 1/3  Slightly sweet w hint of (are you ready for this) cotton candy.  Also has weird burn - glowing brightly yet threatening to go out. The wrapper cracking as it burns; Strong pepper and floral RH - burning back of throat; Good draw & paper aroma 

Very Good - 2/3 Despite the cracking wrapper, the flavors are winning me over. Along w the elusive cotton candy allot of coffee showed up. Long ash is hanging on. The RH has smoothed out with a nice floral and coffee blend. Uneven burn requiring touch ups here and there. Enjoying the paper aroma.

Very Good to Good - 3/3 Flavors still good but no more cotton candy.  Cracking stopped and burn issues cleared up. RH has a little bitterness and bite.

Slightly sweet cigar finish

Easy band removal

Buy Again? Yes

Future Aging? None

Smoke Time 1 1/2 hrs.

Smoked outside on a dark, cold and rainy night - sounds like the opening line for a bad detective novel.

This is my 990th review. I am taking suggestions for my 1,000th stick. If I go with your suggestion you will win a free aged cigar if I score it 4 or higher!!  You should know what like by now so choose wisely.

Happy Smoking
