The cigar keeps the same blend as the original, a Nicaraguan puro using a corojo 99 wrapper from Jalapa, double binders from Estelí and Jalapa, and filler tobaccos also from Estelí and Jalapa.
#leemack912 opens podcast with a greeting reminding everyone that today is another great day. Like the original, the cigars have a brushed or shaggy foot, meaning the first half-inch of the cigar is missing its wrapper. The idea here is to let a smoker taste the fillers by themselves and then get to experience the blend altogether.
the wrapper aroma is musty & floral with additional smells of earth and must. The foot of the cigar has a raisin, hay and straw aromas.
Cold draw yields a medium firm draw
#leemack912 lights the cigar with a torch lighter. After the initial light, the cigar flavors are reminiscent of Nicaraguan tobacco with hints of black pepper on the back of the throat and floral sweetness. Medium firm draw. Long black pepper finish with a medium body smoke. Retrohale - tobacco

Tobacco & nut on the retrohale with an increasing oily black pepper note with medium strength
