Bdwag says: This is a beautiful unique cigar in a figurado shape. Figurados taper and bulge in a specific way to create a unique presentation and smoking effect. If you set this cigar on its foor it would look like a mutant bowling pin. When you first light it up it has a toast y peppery taste. As you continue on the smoke becomes more voluminous and the flavor turns to pepper and charcoal, but all along remains very smooth. The draws was nice and varied depending on where you were at on the cigar. The burn was beautiful. The ash remained tight even through the bulge (twss). I look forward to enjoying another one soon.

I enjoyed this cigar with a Daredevil Lift Off IPA.
