This smoke had been sitting in my humi at ~65 rh for about a month, probably was sitting in the B&M for 1-2 months. I smoked this cigar for 1 1/2 hours and put it down with 2 inches to go.
Great wrapper, draw was a little tight and first inch was fairly bland, kinda dull leather.
Ashed at after about 1 1/2 inch, perfect cone, right down the middle of the cigar.
After about 2 inches it opened up a little, leather, a little grassy I guess, but with that Pepin twang I love about the Blue Lables, but muted in comparison.
Burn was pretty good throughout, only needed a minor touch up, ash was a light grey and hung on well. I would characterize it as the light end of medium bodied and very consistent after the first inch.
For those of you who enjoy a morning and/or mid day smoke, or just a mellow/medium smoke in general, give this one a try. I will give it a 8.75 out of 10. Have a 5'er of the robustos on the way, looking forward to them.
