Bahia

Blu

Draw was really tough and the burn was very uneven.

first third: light pepper creamy. Minor coffee taste. Second third: sweeter coffee taste. Creamy taste. Final third: same notes as 2nd third. Final smoking time 1:41. Final score: 80

This was a discount smoke from a gift sample pack from around 2010. The cigar looked great, good construction, no soft spots. The 1st third I almost gave up for the 1st time ever, all I tasted was wood and the burm was bad. Thankfully I stuck it out and once I hit the 2nd 3rd more flavors showed up. Leather, nuttiness, spice and the wood receded. The burn improved greatly and the flavors stayed consistent to the last inch. For a $2 smoke that's 13 yrs old it ended up pretty decent.
