Edgar Hoill EH Pasion

Not, as I first thought, one of the newer OSOK OG Honduran cigars, this is in fact one of the original Nicaraguan EH line that preceded the OSOK range. This 6 1/2"x52 Perfecto is a beauty. Smooth dark wrapper with minor veining and a pronounced box press. 1/4" clipped at ~30° angle with no problems. Wrapper and foot gave off very rich tobacco and leather aromas. Pre-light draw was even and smooth with hints of bittersweet leather.

This is a full body, full flavor smoke. It is also quite strong. First flavor that jumps out is a bitterness that settles into a good deep leather. The ash is not flaky at all, but not firm enough to resist a gentle tap after about an inch.

The bitterness settles down soon enough into a smooth, leathery tobacco flavor with some undertones that I am not completely familiar with, a slightly odd sweetness that stays mostly in the cheeks.

The burn was perfect except for one very slight canoe that fixed itself rather quickly.

Surprisingly, the overall intensity of the cigar lessend some toward the midway point, although some spiciness developed, especially on the lips and in the nose. It had a somewhat sour, though not unpleasant finish. And it left me a bit "wobbly," so lots of nicotine in the leaves.

This cigar is good to very good, but honestly it does not bear comparison to the Nicaraguan OSOK line. 3.5/5. Joe Bob says check it out.
