The Burn Breakdown

First Third

Cold draw tastes like licking a mahogany table. Initial smoke punches with black pepper and wet earth - like chewing a Dominican baseball infield. Ash holds tighter than tourist grip on all-inclusive cocktails. Retrohale brings cinnamon sneezes.

Mid Burn

Pepper fades to leather-bound books and espresso grounds. Sweetness creeps in - imagine molasses spilled on barn wood. Smoke output doubles like monsoon clouds over Santiago. Watch that burn line - tunnels like Punta Cana cave systems if rushed.

Final Third

Bitter cocoa emerges through cumin-like spice. Strength builds - nicotine buzz hits like Dominican rum shot. Last inch turns charred meat (in a good way). Cut it before tar buildup unless you enjoy licking ashtrays.

Contender Comparisons

  • Arturo Fuente Chateau Sun Grown (5.25"x50) - Lighter foot, more cedar, less nicotine kick
  • La Flor Dominicana DL-700 (6.75"x54) - Longer smoke, sharper pepper, maduro sweetness
  • Perdomo Lot23 Sun Grown (5"x54) - Nicaraguan twist, creamier, milder finish
  • Ashton Aged Maduro (5.5"x50) - Smoother draw, chocolate-forward, less complexity

Who Should Spark This?

Day smokers needing bold flavors to cut through morning coffee. Construction holds better than resort WiFi - solid choice for golf course or beach bumming. Not for newbies - this cigar chews you up before spitting out flavor. Pair with dark rum or repent later.
