Size; 5 x 54
Price; bundle = $60 CAN (approx.)
Pre-light;
loose draw, woody tobacco, cedar,
slight earthy scent, dark brown/maroon
wrapper, rough feel, large veins,
medium-fine tooth.
Lots of smoke output, slightly bitter,
medium body, earthy/woody tobacco,
smooths out near the end of the 1st,
slight coffee flavour with a touch of
leather.
Slight roasted nut flavour, young tobacco
flavour coming out, medium-full body,
starting to get warm, still has the coffee flavour.
Getting warm at the start, more bitter than
earlier, dry mouth feel, near the end
almost to hot to enjoy.
Final notes;
So, this is another bundle cigar so it is what it is once again. The flavours that are mentioned are very slight, just underneath the strong tobacco flavour. The second 3rd is the most enjoyable, having the coffee flavour as the most prominent note. This is sold in bundles as is the Quorum, although the Quorum is more enjoyable from start to finish. Verdict is; ok, but not fabulous. Another pass-out smoke or a yard cigar when a simple smoke is wanted. Try one and let me know what you think.
My rating; 4.5 out of 10
I think you nailed the flavour profiles

ReplyDeleteI buy the red label Bravos at a local cigar shop here in Toronto. I only buy them because their the cheapest cigars I can find. I find they always canoe, tunnel or even pop up random holes in the outer wrapper when smoking them, I always have keep wetting them with spit to prevent the issues. Then they get crazy hot when about 3/4 burnt & you can't smoke them too short without burning your lips or fingers.
