A 5.37x52 Belicoso with a medium textured, veiny, toothy wrapper, smooth, medium length cap, firm bunch and very visible seams, and overall somewhat attractive appearance.
A razor sharp, even burn, medium sized conical coal, mottled white, very strong ash, and a perfect draw.
(Image doesn't really do the ash justice)

Excellent smoke volume and a faint, but fragrant aroma.
Of excellent richness, generous body and flavor, medium strength and perfect balance of herbal, woody and floral flavors and a medium finish of wood and light floral flavors.
No sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, or saltiness and just a very light burn on the tongue.
Of excellent character and overall excellent cigar with a final score of 94 out of 100.

Yet another
@Ljutic
excellent aged nc.
No idea why his turned out so well 90% of the time.
Bruce and I briefly discussed it, and he did nothing really different beyond providing a stable, proper storage conditions with the possible exception of leaving shrink wrapped boxes in the shrink wrap, which I don't believe most people do, but that would only account for a fairly small fraction of his cigars I would think.
I friggin love cigars
