The day is sunny with a little breeze to cool you down under this hot sun. No sign of any clouds.
No beverage to accompany my cigar, just a home-made cookie that my mom baked this morning :)

5 5/8" x 46
Start time: 1:22 PM
First third:
Draw is perfect. No need to draw hard nor light at the same time. The smoke is creamy and the first notes were of tobacco. It has it's own hints of spice, not sure what it is yet, but I'm sure I'll get to it...
The ash has a beautiful palette of grays. Though, the cigar is burning unevenly which can only mean that I haven't smoked in a very long time to loose that practice.
I'm starting to get stronger hints of spice... still trying to figure out what it is.
I'm a small debate weather I'm tasting wood or earth... could be both in a perfect synchronization. I'll figure it out. All in all, it's a medium strength cigar, I don't think it'll over power.
I have an inch of ash so far...
Left the cigar for about 5 mins because my mom came back home and got pissed thinking that we would clean the kitchen so I got up there, cleaned ASAP came back to my cigar and it was off :( Had to loose the inch of ash to fire it up again, which gave me a chance to fill up my torch.
Second third:
Entering this phase the draw get's a tad tighter. It's still light yet I get the hints of spice and wood (I'm sure it's wood). I'm pretty sure I taste pepper, I think that's the spice I'm looking for.
Dunno if it's me but I get an after taste of some kind of nut.
Random thought: Can't stop looking at the plumb blossom that's in front of me. The blossoms are too damn gorgeous.
The cigar held another inch of ash, then fell. The flavor is still mild, the hint of pepper showing up now and then.
Last third:
Pretty much the same thing...
Wood remained and the pepper was still present. It got spicier towards the end.
All in all, it was very enjoyable cigar. It maintained a very good status and had a great flavor throughout the way.
End time: 4:20 PM
