It’s Non-Cuban (NC) Week on the forum<\/a> so I decided to start the week out with a WOAM. I’ve had two of\u00a0these resting in the humi for at least a couple of years so I figured it was time to put one to fire! It’s a very interesting cigar. The shape is unusual as you can see…
\n\"WOAM1\"
\n<\/a>Overall, a great looking cigar I would say. The maduro wrapper is very dark and smooth. There are no soft spots.
\nI gave it a cut and fired it up. The draw is a little too tight in the early stages so I chop a little more off…this fixes the draw.
\nThe initial draws are quite sweet and I’m tasting raisins. There is a slight tingle on the tongue as the finish lingers.
\n\"WOAM2\"
\n<\/a>The flavour profile stays quite consistent. I’m still getting a lot of raisin and I’m actually reminded of a grape wine gum.
\nThe burn and draw are excellent. No touch ups required at all with this cigar. \u00a0There is a bit of a nicotine kick. I would say medium strength and medium bodied.
\n\"WOAM3\"<\/a>\u00a0\"WOAM4\"<\/a>
\nAs I get into the last half of the cigar, the flavour profile shifts slightly and I taste dry cocoa.
\nThe dry cocoa does quickly dissipate however, and I’m left with the raisin profile from earlier. I start to lose interest near the end of the cigar as there’s not much going on so I put it down. Smoking time was 50 minutes.
\n\"WOAM5\"
\n<\/a>Overall, a very enjoyable cigar with a unique profile. 88 points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
