Cigarbid $7. retail $12.
Pre-light: Get a heavy tobacco aroma, earthy, spiciness, some cinnamon/cocoa on the foot.
1st 1/3
Hard to light to start, great draw, I get cocoa and some nice deep tobacco sweetness, medium/ full start.
Get red pepper mixed with cocoa with maybe some dark cherries, burn goes wonkers, let down so far, almost one dimensional
2nd 1/3
Some creamer cocoa appears with leather, still to much pepper for my taste
Having to touch-up the foot for going off center.
Espresso and wood take hold now, pepper dying, sometimes I wish I could get someone else to smoke the first 1/3 of all my cigars where the 2nd third gets normally smoother.
Final 1/3
The ending is similar to a camping trip fire – the charred, woody and earthy mixture with boring friends, not my cup of tea.
