Review notes: Got this as a free sample and probably dates back to 99 since the shop that was selling this has stocks of the 99 vintage and the fine powdery is evidence of its age. Then again, it might very well be dust and mold. In any case it wiped off easily enough without leaving a mark but I digress. Anyway, it is quite an elegantly made short panatela with a smooth, colorado wrapper. Burns even with a workable draw. Overall flavours are mainly earth and wood with some dark chocolate and coffee. Not much sweetness and about a medium bodied smoke. Burnt nice and even. With some care, it did not overheat. Overall, the smoke was quite good actually. It has its own distinct character that I certainly will not mind sampling again in the future although I wished something can be done about its pricetag. |
