Really should have posted this long ago - right after my vacation in the Wichita Mountains, northwest of Lawton. Oklahoma. TJ and I were camping out amidst the buffalo of southwestern Oklahoma when I fired up this fine stick. This is a BIG stogie! But it also offers a big taste. Perfect for the big open sky of the Southern Great Plains.
Pre-light: Wonderful "cigar shop" aroma. Beautifully constructed. Dark oily wrapper.
First Inch: Easy draw. Great aroma. Slightly sweet tobacco flavors with a hint of brown sugar.
Main Body: Pleasant spices with hints of black pepper and a continued sweetness.
Slightly uneven burn (which was probably my fault), but not bad enough to need much of a touch-up. Decent ash.
Very enjoyable stogie. Mellow smoke - almost mild - yet quite flavorful.
Long finish of black pepper and smooth, sweet coffee.
