Raisins and some pepper.

Stallone Alagan Review: First Third

Almonds & vanilla. Delicious medium smoke with floral notes. A bit of a wavy burn to start, but evened out about 1" in.

Stallone Alagan Review: Second Third

Really took until 2nd 1/3 to open up and gave me a lot of toasted notes. Bread, nuts, old-fashioned doughnuts. More vanilla and spice on the retro. Great smoke production medium body. Really holds its cherry, no relights or touch-ups. Graham cracker and slight spice on the retro.

Stallone Alagan Review: Final Third

Rounding into the final 1/3 there's a lot more floral and a slight hint of charcoal aroma. This stick finished well. all notes are consistent throughout.

To me, cigars are about having a deep curiosity of the history of those who provide them to the world; full of complexity and beauty. Comparing notes on those stories is the point, preserved for who’ll come next. I simply can’t get enough of that. Otherwise, I’m a common man.
