Cold draw brought forth raisins. This cigar is a bit bolder and spicier than expected. Retrohale retains its spice throughout. Tough to pick out flavors as the spice is prominent. Wrapper imparts some bitterness.

Decided to celebrate National Rum Day with this cigar. A bold little smoke with some rum taste. Relaxing. Great smoke output. Retrohale quite peppery throughout.

Wrapper looks like leather. Cold draw has sweet spice to it. Don't let the Honduran tobacco fool you; this is a full stick with a long peppery finish. The burn line has been pretty bad, but I let it go out twice. A bit nutty and fuller than expected.

What a twisty treat this barber pole is! The transitions between the candela and maduro wrapper are phenomenal. Construction is excellent. The burn line is strange at times, but seems to correct itself. Trying this for my 9th wedding anniversary (August 13, 2012). Very enjoyable and different. Thus far my top Oscar choice.

Another tasty cigar under the Davidoff umbrella! It started off with a little spice in the retrohale, but quickly mellowed to a cedar tastiness. Easy to smoke and reminiscent of Dominican tobacco around the halfway point.

This was another delicious cigar! The Connecticut wrapper provided its usual tang on the lips. The Dominican fill really made me enjoy the flavor. On par with the Ashtons, but at a lower price point. (This cigar is made under the Davidoff umbrella)

Draw was excellent. Only touched up once when I realized that I was smoking way too fast. This has a creaminess, spiciness, nuttiness, and woodiness. What a fun vitola! The wrapper had some frog eyes, but they didn't affect the burn or flavor.

Seems that I like Dominican tobacco! It hits the nose in a different spot during the retrohale. The draw on this cigar isn't great, possibly due to its shape. It has a taste and complexity that I can't yet put into words. Good construction and an even burn. Will definitely try more from this line.

This is a shop favorite so I wanted to try it, but smoked this one ROTT. I attribute the burn and draw issues to its lack of rest. Had to keep puffing on it to keep it lit, so that was less than perfect. It began spicier than I expected, but quickly mellowed. A nice cedar on the retrohale with just a hint of spice. A creamy smoke. I'll come back to this after one rest for a while.
