For the most part, this is a very consistent cigar. The flavor notes remain fairly linear, with no transitions. However, the profile brings out charred word and a creamy undertone, with a bright white pepper hit coming on the retro. The draw was open with a ton of smoke output.
I've previously liked this cigar but as my palate has expanded it has decreased on my list. It's ok. Really open draw and a cool burn but the flavor just isn't what I want.
The draw was tighter on this one than I remember previously, which required more effort to pull smoke. However, the burn stayed fairly even with this, only needing one correction. The flavor profile presented mostly charred wood and some creamy pepper.
I loved the opener on this cigar, deep earthy nutty notes complimented by a nice spice and full depth! As I got halfway through though, it had trouble burning consistently and the wrapper completely fell to pieces. Great cigar, poor construction, expected better from AJ.
Here's a cigar I've had periodically, but the larger War Horse has a smoother vibe to it. The flavor notes are still consistent with leather, wood, and some toasted notes. Although the burn had a tendency to waver, it was still slow with a smooth draw.
Great flavor. Strong chocolate flavor creamy and smooth. Draw is a bit airy and cigar is loosely packed. This caused it to smoke rather quickly but not overly hot and burn was decent. Nice treat for a mid day smoke on a 70 spring day in Michigan
Aged 5mo. Punch cut. Draw and burn both excellent 👌. Medium bodied with rich and balanced flavors. Flavors of cedar chocolate and spice. A favorite.
Burn and draw ok. Not very good smoke per draw. Had to relight once. Full bodied. Flavors of cedar oak espresso chocolate and spice.
Aged 4mo. Bit of a tight draw, burn a bit uneven. Medium bodied, smooth and creamy. Flavors of cedar pepper and a touch of sweet.
