IPCPR "Mystery Cigar"

No idea what cigar this is due to Jeff wanting me to review somerning "blind."
Appearance: beautiful light wrapper, one of the best rolled cigars that I've ever seen. Just a beaut. Great pre-light nose.
Burn: flawless, holding a really nice tight ash.
Smoke: lots of smoke from a nice easy draw.
Flavor: this is where it went downhill for me. This cigar really doesn't have much flavor to it at all, and the little bit that it does has a slight bite to it like is often found in Mexican tobacco.
Based on everything before the flavor issue I was really wanting to like this cigar. But at the end of the day the flavor is one of the most important components. Because of tnat the best that I could score it would be a 2.5 out of 5, and that is probably generous.
So Jeff, what was it?

Doubtful, those at least have some flavor...the flavor of nicotine bombs...

Drew Estates Undercrown Shade. Definitely not anywhere near as good as the Liga Privadas, but definitely not a patchouli stick.

Sorry the flavor didn't perform as well as I think they had hoped. The one I tried had three ligero leaves, but that shade grown wrapper, as pretty as it was, didn't really produce.
