Tobacco and hay

Hay

Sweet Tobacco

At first light peanuts, hay and about a five on the retrohale in spice nice creaminess to the smoke. Draw is a little snug. Still getting excellent smoke output with a Rich creaminess.

Midpoint getting that pop rock sensation on my palate, nice solid ash. The pepper through the retrohale is more of a cinnamon now and getting more of a cream coffee nuance to the flavor on the palate. Draw is opening up to almost perfect now. Vanilla on the finish.

Final third earthy leather still with the cinnamon on the retrohale. Little bit of a pop rocks sensation persists on the back of the palate. Smoke has intensified to be a little bit more rich and creamy. A little bit of a charcoal taste to finish it out.

I will give my thought first impressions, and input on different cigars. I will also give you some pairings of whiskey, scotch and other drinks to go with some cigars. I will have some friends smoking with me to help me introduce this amazing world to you.
