| TASTING NOTES: Peppery and hint of sweetness at the start. Smooth with a bite of pepper after-taste. Midway through I began to experience the initial sweetness fade to a toasty, then woody taste finally finishing off with a black pepper taste in throat. There was no long after-taste and no thick tar buildup in my mouth. |
| OTHER NOTES: Earthy and old leather scent before lighting. The draw was cool throughout and produced a decent amount of smoke. |
| EVALUATION: All in all I thought this was a very pleasurable medium bodied cigar. I have experienced others that were not as pricy that were just as good but I had to try the Mexican binder and wrapper grown in volcanic soil. Who wouldn't want to try that? For all the fuss out there about how horrible Mexican cigar tobacco is should try the Murcielago. |
