Another thanks to @Ljutic

A Honduran, 6 1/8 x46 Corona Grande, with a brown, Colorado maduro, Honduran Criollo wrapper of fine, smooth, oily texture, and Honduran, Mexican and Costa Rican filler and Costa Rican binder.

Nice, even burn, flat coal, mottled grey, typical ash and a perfect draw.
In the second third, 2 cracks in the wrapper near the foot appeared, and just before the end of the second third, began to peel.

Excellent smoke volume and nice, fragrant aroma.

Of ample richness, smooth, mellow, mild-medium strength, generous body and perfectly balanced taste of herbal, grassy and floral flavors.

No sweetness, burn on tongue, sharpness or saltiness, and a very light bitterness on the finish.

Overall a good smoke, with a final score of 89 out of 100, which happens to be Cigar Aficionado’s score for 2003 and 2004 interestingly enough.

The majority of the lost points were due to the wrapper cracking and peeling, and the slight bitterness on the aftertaste, otherwise it scored extremely well.
