I was just wondering if anyone else here has tried this smoke. I posted about it a few days ago after I smoked it, but only had a couple guys reply saying they hadn't tried it. It is the most unique cigar I have ever tried. It has 2 different filler blends inside it. One for the first half, then it switches to the other blend for the 2nd half. It sounded like a gimick to me, but was actually a damn fine smoke with a ton of flavor. Anyone else tried this one and have any thoughts on it? I was very impressed!

The construction of this cigar is remarkable with a gorgeous wrapper and perfect triple cap. It has burned somewhat wavy, but always self correcting.
The flavors start out somewhat sweet with some earth and a bit of spice, but remained medium in body for the first third. The spice began to develop as I got more into the first third and balanced well with the sweetness. As it finally began to settle into some great flavor at the beginning of the second third, I noticed a pretty distinct change.
About three puffs into the second third it took on a more savory character, and the spice all but disappeared. The sweetness lingered a bit as this savory character grew. At the end of the second third, the savory character had fully developed. While I didn't initially notice a huge change in body, after a retrohale at the end of the second third, it was obvious that the stick had gained a noticeably stronger body. While the change wasn't too drastic it was a noticeable and very welcome to my palate.
Getting into the final third, the savory flavor was still most prominent with a bit of sweetness remaining. It began to get it a bit of a leathery character to it as I got more into the final third, but still remained mostly savory.
All in all, this was a treat. A definite adventure for the palate and extremely enjoyable. I need to get my hands on a few more of these in the other sizes to try out. I imagine that the longer sticks on this line may be even more enjoyable. Thanks again to Paul (mustluvcigars) for including this in my MAW package.
Boo. No retailers in Michigan.
