The cigar had a loose draw to begin, so getting notes off the cold draw proved to be a bit difficult. The wrapper looks good with an even color. The first third began with bitter/harsh notes – which concerned me – but it then quickly transitioned to oak and hay. There was a lot of smoke output, likely due to the loose draw. Initial burn issues occured on both samples, but they self corrected. I enjoyed the nutty notes present throughout both samples.
