Macanudo Emissary

Cigar Reviewed: Macanudo Emissary France

Smoked at: Colorado

Beautiful cigar, we'll constructed. Wrapper had a nice smell. I used a punch cut and the cold draw was ok. Draw was a bit tight. On first light, I was not overwhelmed with flavor. Continuing to smoke, wrapper began splitting and the burn needed several relights to correct. First half was nice but not "knock your socks off". Retrohale was sharp. Second half much the same as the first and towards the end it became more harsh. I did note that the tobaccos were clearly well aged as a could taste the quality. Overall, but a bad cigar but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it but, I would smoke it again if given the opportunity.
