Exile Churchill

Tonight I smoked an Exile churchill during the Pro-Bowl. It's been in my humi for 5 months.

Pre-smoke:
Unique and gorgeous paper wrapping. Wrapper was rough, but in a good way. Construction was top notch. Pre-light smell was a little peppery and the draw had tastes of black licorice and apricot.

Smoke:
Cut it with my new Tat cutter I got at the event yesterday and lit it with my trusty Blazer torch.
Draw was smooth and gave me a good amount of smoke on each puff.
Burn started very poorly with bad flagging in one place. I needed to touch it up 4 times until the halfway point when it finally evened out.
Ash was a nice light grey, but was flaky.
Slight nutty taste, but full of that good "cigar" flavor. Very little taste of pepper.
Cigar started out medium and ended Medium-Full.
I got a nice little nic buzz from it.
I had to re-light it with about 1 1/2 inches left, but I really wanted to nub this smoke because it was good enough to. Not harsh or hot.
Overall, I gave it a 7 out of 10. I have a few smaller Exiles that I feel will pack more "punch" and I'm looking forward to trying.
