Wrapper : Connecticut Broadleaf
Binder : Nicaraguan Habano
Filler : Nicaraguan
Size : Torpedo ( 6×54 )
Perfect draw on this one. Little wobbly burn line in the second third but overall pretty good.
Cold Draw : Chocolate and Sweet Tobacco.
1st Third : Pepper, Espresso and Wood.
2nd Third : Pepper has moved from the front to the back and the flavours have smoothed out somewhat.
Final Third : The Pepper and Espresso have been turned up to 11 and we are blasting into the finish.
Monkey Shoulder Scotch
Blend of single malt whiskeys.
86 proof
Nose : Slight citrus with Vanilla and Honeyed Oak.
Palate : Vanilla with a nice spice.
This scotch is made to mix so while it is very simple the spicy bite makes it so it doesn’t get lost when paired with this powerful smoke. I really enjoyed it but would probably choose somthing a bit sweet next time i smoke this cigar.
