After Toast:

First third – Notes of toast and earth hit the palate first followed by a nice tangy cedar. Some spice enters the fold a few minutes in causing a nice toffee note to come forth. Burn is slightly wavy. Ash is a medium gray and holding strong.

Second Third – Spice and cedar kick back up here with the rich earth lingering on the finish. Burn self-corrected to sharp. Ash fell at the half way point.

Final Third – The toffee mixed with the tangy cedar pack the final third with a nice flavor. Burn remained sharp.

Really nice stick by the Nestor Miranda Collection from the Miami Cigar Company. The cigar was not real complex, but the flavor profile was a nice mix of medium flavors in the toffee and tangy cedar. Anybody who loves cigars can appreciate this stick. It may be my favorite in their line.
