Notes

The cigar started extremely well, with the first two thirds feeling like a 9/10 smoke. Unfortunately, the final third didn’t quite live up to that level. Growing bitterness and a drier, more aggressive finish took away from what had otherwise been a very enjoyable cigar. Worth revisiting with another stick to see if this was typical of the blend or just this cigar.
