## Scorched Earth

I gotta say, first 1/3rds of this cigar disappointed me. Very mellow to mild tasting.(for which I am not a fan of) After an hour of smoke with this gorgeous Churchill it started to become more apparent that this is not for those who prefer truly mellow sticks; although it is not bold enough to scare away new smokers

2/3

The minute the cigar begins to open up is right before the 2/3rds mark. The taste of dried plum seems to simmer behind the rich aroma of earth and wood that seamlessly overpower the tastebuds.

3/3

The finishing notes on this stick were wonderful, consistent smoke all the way to the end.
