Dona Flor Alonso Menendez Series
Size 6X60
Brazilian Puro
Compared to the size of the Dona Flor Selecao Robusto
The wrapper is course and veiny
Toasted at 1:55 PM
Nice even toast with easy draw
Flavors: Coffee with cream, hazel nut, and cocoa
Tunnel begins 1/10th in, and uneven burn
Attempt to correct. I thought was corrected at 1/4
2:15 pm
Flavors: Leather, walnut (acidity) and some pepper / Nice white to gray smoke
2:45 pm Halfway point
Flavors: No more pepper only coffee and nuttiness
Burning uneven - the burn follows the veins in the wrapper
Breathing it through my nose - picking up walnut and citrus (orange or grapefruit)
3:00 pm Corrected again at 1/3rd
Flavors All nut and wood flavor - no pepper at all, very mild
3:10 pm Getting soft and a little hot
Still burning uneven - correcting as needed / A lot of white smoke
Flavors all Cedar at this point
Not worth burning my finger over!
Stopped at 3:30
Overall Experience: Good - I would smoke this again
Construction: 5 out of 10
Price: 6 out of 10
Flavor: 9 out of 10 Mild
Appearance: 7 out of 10 Course and Veiny
