This morning I lit up the D.7 maduro gordo. I will preface this review with I do not smoke this size cigar hardly ever. 7 in. is too long to keep me paying attention. So i figured a 3 hour drive would force me to be interested.



Before I lit the cigar I noticed how light it was for such a big cigar. This usually means light packing so I wondered how long it would burn and if it would lead to any burns issues. The first time I smoked this cigar I really like the flavors but had to correct the burn more than I would of preferred. Right away the cigar starts smoking a lot and I got a great sweetness to compliment a dark expressoy nut flavor.



1/3 of the way in I am enjoying the cigar. A lot of the flavors I'm getting remind me of a Liga 9. Stand out flavors and a lot of smoke. Even the wrapper is leaving hints of tobacco oils on my finger tips.



Nothing really changes from the 1/3 mark to the last third. Everything stays like its been until the burn issues strike. At the final third mark the cigar has been going a little over two hours. The second I re light it to correct the burn all the flavors as anticipated change to a hot earthy flavor. So for me, I was ready to put it down.

I really feel like this cigar aged well. I don't remember it reminding me of a liga 9 the first time I had it so I would say resting had something to do with that.
@Tombstone you said you wanted to see what I thought

I will probably seek out a few robustos and maybe a box to sit on for awhile.
