My Father Cigar Lounge Exclusive

I picked this cigar up while in Atlanta area recently, and been saving it for a time I could really take the time to enjoy it....so I had high hopes.
This cigar was about a 50 ring gauge in size and about 5 1/2 to 6 inches long. The wrapper was medium brown, nice and oily with a fair amount of tooth to it. I believe the filler is Nicaraguan, it certainly tasted like it.
When I lit the cigar I was greeted with a large volume of smoke and a NICE kick of spice and pepper.......I knew right away that I was in for a treat!
the first 1/3 to 1/2 of this smoke had a wonderful combination of pepper/spice with a good mixture of espresso and dark chocolate/cocoa. The spice/pepper was pretty strong, just the way I like it....but the difference between this and many other cigars I've had was that the espresso, cocoa flavors were not overpowered and very much held their own.......Yummmmmmmy!!!!
The cigar steadily produced large volumes of smoke which was very intense and aromatic....MAN I was lovin' this!
Roughly about half way thru, the pepper/spice became a little more subdued and the espresso & cocoa stepped to the forefront. The burn on this cigar stayed true from the start, and lasted almost to the end. I found myself SAVORING this smoke. One thing(among many) that I liked about this cigar was that I could taste this cigar, in a good way, deep toward the back of my throat....if that makes any sense? The flavor and strength of this cigar suited my preferences to a "T"! This turned out to be a little over an hour of "cigar bliss"!
I would peg this as a Full flavored, on the high side of med/full strength cigar. The only thing that I found wrong was I had a hard time removing the band while smoking it down, which caused the wrapper to become loose toward the end....but hey, just a small annoyance.
The end result was that I REALLY liked this cigar and would love to have some more, unfortunately they ain't cheap by my standards....this one ran $15 retail, so I guess I'll have to try and pick up a few for special occasions.
If I had to score it, I'd give it 4 1/2 stars out of 5.
