Wow, I admit that I am a fairly new smoker but this thing is just amazing. To begin, the construction was amazing, hardly a single vein on this stick and firm through out, no soft spots on this one. A dark Cameroon wrapper that glistened with oils, this thing looked like a Wonka bar from my dreams. Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler. The foot had a toasty smell with a hint of coffee and chocolate. From the second the foot flamed, flavor was pouring out of this stick in torrents. Starting with a mildly bitter (but very pleasant) leather/dark chocolate taste, this thing produced a TON of smoke. My lady literally came in the room to make sure things were ok. The smoke was snow white and very creamy. About midway some spice picked up and this thing started taking a turn towards the full side, but never quite made it. The finish was all dark chocolate that left an amazing taste in the palate and literally left a sweet chocolaty taste on the lips for almost half an hour after the smoke was finished. Without a doubt, this stick holds my favorite spot and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Went out the next week and purchased 3 more for the new humidor. Enjoy!
