Quesada Casa Magna Connecticut

The wrapper has a soft sheen, a few very minor blemishes, and visible but tight seams. Just a nice looking stick with an even roll and medium pack. Draw was quite good with ample smoke output. Mild-medium bodied with a fairly creamy texture. The first third had a lot of subtle notes coming at me which at times reminded me a little of trail mix. The middle third transitions into more of a nutty granola, and the final third takes on a more floral forward character. A very dynamic and flavorful smoke with decent balance and a overall pleasant texture.
