Prelight: Sweet barnyard hay, sweet cedar, earth, leather, powdered cocoa, tea, and cinnamon
1st 1/3
Dark leather, cocoa, dark tea, earth, pepper and muted cinnamon, toasty facet existent here and a slight sourness, distinctly on the finish, mixed with a slight sweetness.
Burns straight, perfect draw, cool and as promised a medium to full body
After trying the Bait Fish vitolas that is sharper in pepper I like the smoothness of this 60 gauge better
2nd 1/3
Inch and a half before the ash fell off, the pepper smoothed out and the powdered cocoa, sweet cedar, tea and light cinnamon become velvety as I go into the 2nd 1/3
The mouth feel of the smoke is still very thick and chewy and some dark chocolate appears
Last 1/3
The My Uzi Weighs a Ton reminds me of the flavors of the CroMagnon Aquitaine with its meaty essence
The flavor profile of the MUWT is not overly complex but a great cigar non the less
And nice addition to Drew's legendary Liga Privada and Undercrown that changed more during the smoke session, with the MUWT's more unchanging flavors from start to finish but the burn was perfect and also the draw and the flavors where still very good.
Score: 8.7 out of 10
Smoke time: 1hr 35min

I agree with Zane... This is a great stick. One caveat... This one is much better at a lower humidification. Here in FL with 87-90% humidity, cigars seem to absorb the ambient moisture quickly outside. - Just my
