Devils Weed Nicot

Initial Impressions: This was a lovely looking corona gorda (5.5 x 46). It had a silky smooth natural wrapper with a nice oily sheen. No bumps. The cigar was firm to the touch, there were no soft spots. The cigar had a very pleasant pre-light aroma.

Smoking: This cigar had a great draw with a very good volume of smoke. It smoked very cool from start to finish, no over heating. The wrapper did not unravel or crack during the entire smoke. The ash was firm and light grey with some marbling and stayed on for over an inch before ashing. The construction was excellent.

Taste: This was a very pleasant medium-bodied cigar. It was smooth the whole way through and did not have any harshness or unpleasant flavors. Overall the cigar had a straightforward tobacco taste with lots of sweetness. The finish was pleasant and sweet and stayed on the palate for a long time. In the second half of the cigar I could also detect some complexity and could taste some very pleasant cocoa flavors. The finish also become more robust and even sweeter. The cigar had a very pleasant aroma while smoking.

Conclusion:Overall this was a very good cigar. Highly recommended, especially for the price. A box of 20 can be found on CI for $31.99, and it's well worth it. The construction was flawless and the taste was great. Not too complex, but it did not have to be because it was an excellent smoking experience.
