This is one huge ass cigar. It’s actually a little frightening as it is nine inches of Litto Gomez Ligero. This is a special release cigar that I picked up at Capital City Cigars.
It has unbelievably shiny wrapper, and after I punched it and took a draw I found it nice and even, no easy task for a giant cigar like this.
Here’s the cool part… it wasn’t as spicy as I feared. It actually was smooth and refined for the first 6 inches or so. Traces of coffee and leather were dominated by a smooth woodiness and a core of spice. But this wasn’t so spicy to turn you green… until the last three inches.
The last third of the cigar was very strong, and due to al; of the ligero near the head, it started to burn funky and then it extinguished itself and after multiple relights I had to give up on it. But, the first two thirds of this cigar was really good, so can’t really give it a bad score, but I need to ding it for the construction at the end.
