(Description provided by Kevin Parow)
The latest cigar from Kevin Parow and New England Cigar Militia. It sold out almost immediately but Kevin says he plans on re-releasing it at some point.
Blend:
* Wrapper: Ecuador Habano
* Binder: Nicaraguan Condega
* Fillers: Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos
It comes in one size; 6x52
The cigar is well made and has an average feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was a little firm but workable. The initial flavors at light up were orange citrus, brown sugar, tanned leather, and black coffee. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2. Nice start.
At the first third (26 minutes) not much has changed. I still had the citrus, brown sugar, and black coffee. The only thing different is the tanned leather is quite decreased. There is a decent amount of black coffee but it's not earthy at this point. The cigar is medium bodied. The finish is a citrus-type note with very good lingering black pepper. The cigar is quite nice at this point. I rated the first third 94.
As I moved through the second third (50 minutes) earthiness is starting to move in. The sweet notes are still there but a little muffled. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is black coffee with very good lingering black pepper. I rated the second third 93.
The cigar lasted 1 hour 18 minutes. The earthiness kept floating upward. It's having an affect on the sweet notes. They are a little more muffled. The cigar is full bodied. The finish is black coffee with some remnants of citrus and very good lingering black pepper. I rated the final third 92. When these return give them a try.
