Top cigar is the wrapper from the Avion and the bottom is the El Hijo.
Agree with Brian's prelight assessment up to the prelight draw. It is floral almost fruity. First draw is airy and light on the shaggy part. Working into the wrapper smoke it firms up. Woody leather characteristics with the floral note in the nose and the pepper bite. Oak, leather, tobacco, a good bite, and finish is oily. About an inch in the chocolate comes to play. Second third the richness is evident and retrohale showing a bit of syrupy thickness, almost sweet flavor in the very back of the throat. I am picking up the earthiness and a powdered cocoa Brian described. Leather, cocoa, although I do note some nutty flavors of almond. Burn is perfect. Moving into the final third I do note a coffee richness.
The differences are minimal and can be from what points in the cigar the user takes their impression from, but I would agree with Brian's impressions on the stick. It is a must buy for me and a box is now on order for aging. My only hope is this becomes a regular production smoke. It is good gentlemen and it will be a great addition to any humidor.
