Delicious smoke. Perfect draw, perfect burn, plenty of smoke. Woody notes, balanced, later some leather. My favorite under the Perdomo Barrel aged line so far (haven’t tried the maduro yet).
Good solid feeling stick. Excellent flavor. Nice white ash, indicating a thorough fermentation. Very pleasant room smell and a good amount of smoke.
But, going into the last half of the cigar, it started plugging up. For a torpedo, I did do a shallow cut, which could account for that. I cut it a little deeper and improved the draw, but then began a lengthy battle with it trying to canoe on me.
It never stopped canoeing until the last bit of the final ⅓. That being said, the flavors remained very good. Got some pepper at the back of the throat in the final⅓, but it was not unpleasant. Even picked up stronger notes of butter cream in the final⅓!
My 1st box of cigars were Perdomo Bourbon Barrel Aged Habano Connecticuts. I find that I now enjoy the BBA Habano Sungrowns more.
Good burn until the final⅓, had to do a hot purge. Good draw and flavor. Got a little spicy at the back of the throat past the ½ way point, but not undesirable. Good solid light grey ash. Just another reason Perdomo is my favorite brand.
