A very pleasant afternoon smoke in the sun, with Arturo Fuentes MR No.52 as my companion. Let me start by saying that the pre-light aroma was a little boring, but dont let that put you off, as once I lit up, it was a different story. Construction was not as good as I have seen from A.Fuente, with a slight crack in the binder, and a looseness around the cap, but overall ok.
Once alight, the draw was impeccable, with copious amounts of creamy smoke available with each puff. Underlying was a sweetness that lasted throughout the stick, with nuts cedar and leather, with a little cocoa. Flavours changed in proportion to each other from the first third to the last, but it wasnt overly complex. However, this was a perfect afternoon cigar, with a really even burn and an easy laid back feel to it. No input from me was needed at anytime to keep it burning straight and true and I really enjoyed this cigar. I would say its medium strength and whilst it doesnt have lots of subtle flavour nuances that some of the best do, this is a really nice smoke and easy to enjoy without thinking about it.
