Time Smoked: 1345

Drink: Coffee
I was glad to finally run across these since I wasn't able to make it to my local B&M when these were being given away. I bought it in Wichita and brought it home to sit for a few days.
When I took it out to smoke, I noticed the notch on the head along a vein in the leaf which is visible in the picture. However, cutting the cigar kept this from being a problem until the very end. The wrapper gave off a sweet barnyard aroma with the foot giving of a much stronger barnyard smell. The cold draw had a hint of citrus.
On lighting there was a sharp, almost lime, tang. It settled into a dry toast which dried out my mouth, but with a very dark ash. I slowed down, and the ash lightened up a bit, but there was still a brown tinge. A sweet butter developed which at halfway became stronger, almost a caramel flavor. The finish spiced up until I put it down because the vein from the crack in the head was poking me in the lip and became very irritating.
This was a decent cigar, but I need to have another of these with a different beverage. I think the coffee masked some of the flavors and the combination of the cigar and coffee was drying out my mouth.
