El Rey del Mundo Tainos - 7/01

[jjmd]

A very tasty smoke! Fairly plain tawny brown wrapper with hardly any veins. Solid construction without any soft spots. Easy light. Good draw. Even burn without the need for relights or corrections. Gray white ash. This gifted stick from 7/01 started immediately with woody notes. In the first third, the wood gave way to a medley of flavors, including vanilla, mild cedar, nuts, toffee, and walnuts. In the middle third, the cedar note remained and intensified, and was joined by mild cream and toasted tobacco. The final third brought a slight menthol whisper and nuts. All in all, this medium-bodied, complex, one hour 20 minute smoke was very enjoyable. Paired well with rum, but would also go well with coffee.
