    Even at a 54 rg, this cigar is burning very fast. It may be me over-smoking it, but I can't help it... I love the flavors!

    I hear that! These really are my favorite right now. I have yet to be disappointed by one yet, and have been smoking then disproportionately to my other cigars as of late.

    I'm thinking the same thing. The Diesel UC corona from last week is gonna be a longer smoke than this toro at this pace. It's funny how good these things taste considering most of the other sticks out there with a San Andres Maduro wrapper aren't really that great for me.

    At the half way point, the dry cocoa has gotten a bit wetter and more chocolate-y, and the damp earth has gotten a bit dryer. As the transition happened, the cigar maintained perfect balance. There is a bit of leather introduced on the draw, but it is short on the finish, and is only a compliment flavor, not dominant at all.

    I smoke around 10 cigars a week... to be fair though, I've prob only smoked about 2 boxes... I've bombed and traded out a LOT of these to spread the love.

    I couldn't finish mine. Got some really bad news (Todd you already know) and just had to toss it.

    I'm there, you nailed the half-way point. My wrapper split but it's still doing okay...

    WOOT!! When I get certain patients in the back of the rig, I have this extreme urge to blast "Walk With me in Hell"...

    Mine finished up nicely. As the pepper picked up so did the creamyness. Finished with a solid medium body and tons of flavor. I absolutely love these cigars.

    That's pretty much where I'm at. These are much more dynamic than I remember. Great stick, very creamy at the end. I wonder if these will age better than the no.9?

    On paper... no.

    but in reality, I think what makes the 9 suffer from aging is the loss of the "pop", and the bold, dynamic flavors...

    I don't think that will happen to the Undercrown. I think the flavors start out married pretty well, and they will continue to marry even better with time. It will make the Undercrown more complex.

    The loss of the "edge" that the 9 has won't be a negative factor on the Undercrown, which imho makes is better suited to aging.

    plus I think the SA wrapper on the Undercrown will hold up to aging better than the oscuro on the no.9. Just my .02

    I noticed when i was smoking mine that it was a smoke bomb the entire time. Damn it was a great smoke though. there was a sweet spot about an inch or so in ( toro) that had some great flavor. I felt like it was some mix of coffee or coco ( my palate is young and it is hard for me to tell).
