7-20-4 "Dog Walker". 4 1/4 X 40. Wrapper - Brazilian Mata Fina, Binder - Costa Rica, Filler - Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexican & Colombian. Medium bodied.
Because this is a small cigar, I decided to break it down in halves instead of thirds.
Initial taste - Nice blast of black pepper & cedar.
First Half - Black pepper, cedar, leather and a nice hint of cocoa. Very good balance.
Second Half - The black pepper now becomes more of a spice along with leather, cedar and a very pleasant and interesting floral flavor. Marvellous complexity. Very nice long finish of spice & leather.
Construction, burn and draw were excellent - nice tight light-gray ash that held on.
I was very impressed with this cigar - it had excellent balance and complexity. Plenty of flavor. A fantastic little cigar for a short smoke or for...well... walking your dog. MSRP on this vitola is $5.50 which makes this cigar a great value in my opinion. Absolutely recommend.

I've only smoked the robusto, really like em. I like the short smoke for those occasions when I don't have the time for a full, glad to hear the flavors remained in the little vitola.

I recently did a sampler of these and found the smaller vitolas better than the larger. Pretty good smokes, though. Thanks for the review on this one, I'll have to try it
:-)
