Dominican, NicaraguaI've really been enjoying these morning cigar and coffee sessions and today I reached for this Undercrown Shade Connecticut that I picked up at
Famous Smoke a couple of years ago. The Foot smells of hay and raisins. Some white pepper on the pre light draw.
The first impression is that this is a very mild stick. There is a creaminess to the finish that I don't remember from last time I smoked it. I want to call it a butter cream almost and it is very delectable.
There is not much else going on with this cigar so far with the exception of very mild cedar notes and a wonky split ash; it's burning fine though.
As I get deeper into the first third some spice starts to introduce itself on the tongue and for a brief moment I tasted a zest of lemon. This is a first but maybe just an anomaly. The cream is falling to the background as notes of cedar come to the front. I'm really starting to enjoy this mild cigar and the ash is holding nicely.
The ash finally fell off after about two inches but it was very entertaining while it lasted. I wanted to get up for more coffee but w as mesmerized. The pepper spice is finally picking up here a bit especially through the retro hale. Not overpowering at all but just right. Some nuttiness has made an appearance on the finish as well. This is shaping up to be a fine morning smoke.
Wow as I finish up the final third and walk inside to grab another cup of coffee my palette is greeted with a taste of cinnamon and graham cracker. I didn't expect much more change in this one but what a nice surprise.
Summary
Great mild morning smoke, good construction. Cream, cedar, white pepper, cinnamon, Graham cracker. Paired nicely with coffee ☕
