The Crowned Heads Four Kicks Robusto

This light brown 5X50 cigar has invisible seems and a slightly veiny and toothy wrapper.  The cigar features a beautiful Ecuador habano wrapper and Nicaraguan filler.  At first light a extremely smooth cedar and pepper is present.  Its mild to medium in body and last all the way to the next draw.  The draw is perfect and giving out large plums of smoke.  The burn line isn't prefect after about a quarter inch but doesn't require any touch ups.

An inch and a half have gone by and the flavors start to add a nice Nuttiness and Vanilla flavor. The spice is still present but only gives the warming sensation and not the flavor.  On a pepper/spice scale its at a 2 out of 10.  It's present but barely.  The cigar has also added a nice naturally sweet tobacco on the finish.  It mixes will with the cedar and vanilla and slight spice.  The cigar continues to burn well not requiring any touch ups.

With around two inches left vanilla, cedar and spice have dissipated and have added in a earthiness.  The nuttiness is coming out more so then any of the for mentioned flavors and is mixing with the earthiness.  The sweetness and vanilla is almost completely gone but is in the background faintly.  At around one hour and 5 minutes or so the flavors start to get washed out by a chard tobacco flavor and I set it down for the last time.
