I ordered up various selection packs to restock the humidor after a cigar hiatus of a couple of years, included in which was this little beauty. After resting for a couple of days in the humidor I poured myself a generous measure of a Bruichladdich virgin cask edition and settled down in the garden for a little relaxation. First impressions were good, the construction was excellent and the cigar just looked good. It cut well and lit easily. I always found cigars to be as subjective as whisky when reviewing, but for what it is worth this is my tuppence worth......

Initially the cold draw I found to be quite astringent, warming quickly to dry toast and well worn leather as the first third progressed, once it warmed and progressed through the second third it mellowed dramatically, transitioning to a beautiful rich tobacco flavour underlayed with honeyed melon or pineapple, coffee and the barest hint of a pleasant spice (perhaps a little white pepper?). The final third remained very mild and gentle with a gradual increase in the overall spice. Overall the experience was incredibly moreish.

The draw was perhaps a little looser than my preference, although this did not detract in any way from the experience. Overall I must say that it was a welcome return to cigar smoking, an exceptionally pleasant way to spend 45 minutes or so. If the other two vitola's are in the same league as this then I will be hard pressed to decide which gets the honour of filling my humidor. Well done Mitchell, you have produced an absolute belter!
