This 6×50 stick offers a very dark brown first slightly toothy wrapper with minimal veins, tight seams, a double cap and damp sweet musty aroma. First light reveals a very snug draw with minimal smoke output and medium body flavors of a damp bitter tobacco. The first third actually mellos a bit towards mild, with much the same flavors, just a bitter earth taste. Burn is good although the whole stick is going hot and mushy, the cheery feels like it’s a good couple inches below the burn. This is also a cheap dyed cigar, with the dye actually running down the side and staining my lips and fingers. 25 minutes in the ash drops off at the start of the 2nd third, flavors adding a touch of a dry chocolate, the draw opening up just a bit and smoke output up a bit. Burn is perfect, almost razor sharp. The ash holds on in third length chunks but I ended this stick 55 min in at the start of the last third where it just went very hot and mushy. Video on the site
