Aging Room by Boutique Blends M356 - Forte Cigar - 1 Single (End of Line)

Started out great, sweet caramel and that tangy Cuban style taste. Second third was mainly woody and earthy with some pepper starting to ramp up and leather coming in on the final third. Started to get hot and bitter at the band point. Around the half way point I got a bit bored and didn't really enjoy it after that. Lasted about 1.5 hours. Strong nicotine hit had me reaching for the sugar at the end. Wouldn't buy again, nice but nothing special and not interesting enough to justify the duration/price.

This stick features a gorgeous dark Chocolate wrapper busting with oils, the seams where nice and tight and the cigar was packed full of tobacco no soft squidgy spots moreover the cigar displayed rich barn yard aroma with hints of coco and citrus. Pre light draw perfect just a touch of resistance flavours are deep earth, orange peel, and a slight black pepper note both in taste and tingle on the lips. The cigar was very easy to toast due to the tapered end so a soft flame was just fine for use indoor. First draw where deep dark earthy notes with a main tobacco core the pepper detected on the pre light draw was also apparent both taste wise and mouth feel the sensation is like putting popping candy on the tongue. Other than these main component to the blend the smoke is smoke is very creamy with a very long finish that carry the cream and tobacco element well into the next draw. Finishing off the smoke also delivers a citrus fruit very nice combination with the cream. Construction wise the burn is flawless and the stick is putting off loads of thick smoke carrying a lovely complex flavour profile. Second third smoke still very thick and continued to deliver the same flavours however there is a coco and coffee note mixed in which blended well with the citrus, other than that there is still a bold pepper flavour on the draw and retro hail. Burn line is amazing and the ash is lovely and white and holding very tight. Final third smoke went very warm that killed the Flavour nothing but warm bitter earthy which gradually faded to a cream. Ash dropped off in a Solid three inch chunk, burn still razor sharp so no complaints at with the construction. My overall rate is 8/10 as the stick delivered plenty medium to full smoke which was easy to pick individual notes out, burn was outstanding and the price point is great. I would highly recommend this cigar to anyone one wanting to try something new Cheers Connor
