Quick review of the 4.5 x 46 Stretto, corona natural Sumatra wrapper cigar. This stick was an extra sent to me in a 5'er purchase by another exceptional BOTL here in the Asylum. No idea of it's age or how it was kept prior to my recent ownership. The cigar is a really nice box press with a beautiful Sumatra wrapper, purported to be aged since 2003. Excellent construction, easy draw with a punch cut and razor sharp burn throughout. Turned out to be a perfect size for taking the dogs out for a 40 minute yard run in the cool evening here in west coast FL. Initial taste on the first draw was a surprise and very full flavored. No sweetness initially, but lots of leather and spiciness. Little pepper and very smooth. Cool, easy draw with a lot of nice white smoke. The totally white ash held well for easily an inch and a half or more. Flavor smoothed out even more as the stick progressed and became creamy with medium, rich tobacco and light sweetness in the background. I've not had an Aging Room cigar before, but will definitely search these out and keep this vitola in the humi from now on. Highly recommended.
