This 4 ½ ring 50 perfecto was a gift from my buddy Conch Republican. This small stick has a peppery chocolate aroma to it. The cigar is nice shaped with a medium dark wrapper which has some small veins. The construction is fine, especially for a perfecto. The predraw is great and leaves a peppery raisin flavor on my lips.

The first flavor I taste is a full but dry leather. The leather has a mild metallic flavor to it. After an inch there is a mild chocolaty after taste. Halfway I get some wood and that keeps me company till I reach the turning point.

As always with perfectos I have some crooked burn in the beginning, but once that is corrected, the burn and the draw are flawless. The ash is quite dark and firm, and the amount of smoke is fantastic.

Would I buy this cigar again? I don’t know. This cigar leaves me confused, although, except from the mild flavors, I can’t think of anything that makes me not want to smoke this again, I also can’t think of anything that makes want to smoke it again.

The perfecto use to be my go-to cigar when I would go to the Shilo cigar bar on Sunday's and watch (American) football. It was a good smoke, nothing too overwhelming but overall very pleasant. My only gripe was it was just a bit too short to last a full game and a bit too long to last for a half.
