Outlaw Cigar Company Gunslinger Perdition in Toro

Today we have the Gunslinger Perdition.  This cigar has a dark brown wrapper and is boxed pressed.  It has invisible veins and seems and has a nice clean appearance.  It measures in at 6 X 52.  After lighting the draw is perfect producing huge amounts of smoke and has a good amount of black pepper flavor and tingle sensation with a creamy cedar.  The finish has a earthy note mixed with a small amount of sweet dark tobacco.  The body is at a medium to full and the flavors stay on the palate long into the next draw.  The burn is slightly wavy but is not causing any issues.

One inch in and some awesome flavors are starting to come in.  The draw remains perfect.  The draw flavors are still the black pepper flavor and tingle sensation the cedar has been replaced by a earthy note.  The finish starts with a sweet earthiness and cedar, coming in late on the finish is a leather followed by a light coffee and mocha flavor.  The flavors are very nice and go well together.  The body is up to a solid full and the flavors stay on the palate long into the next draw.  The burn has evened out and is now burning normally.

Three inches down and the draw now has the black pepper flavor and tingle with an earthy coco note.  On the finish a creamy sweet leather starts out and is taken over by the mocha note. The finish is leaving a coating on the palate and are delicious. The cigar flavors are very sweet and desert like.  Needless to say the cigar is impressing me quite a bit and I am thoroughly enjoying it.  The body is still at a full and the burn has stayed flawless since the last update.

With just under two inches left the cigar has taken on a chard dark tobacco note with a slight bit of almond.  The cigar is starting to get warm and mushy and I sat it down for the last time at the 1 hour and 12 minute mark.  Overall, this was an excellent cigar with great construction, flavors, and offers a great smoking experience

Curivari Buenaventura BV500

Today we have the Curivari Buenaventura BV500.  This cigar has a light brown wrapper with invisible veins and seems.  It is trunk pressed and comes in a 5 1/4 X 50.   After lighting the draw is a little snug and smoke production is at a minimum.  The draw has a slight black pepper flavor and tingle sensation and a little bit of earthiness.  The finish has a more earth and a smooth cedar note with some black pepper flavor at the tail end.  The burn through the first inch is wavy but not an issue.  The flavors last on the palate till the next draw and are at a mild to medium in body.

Around the two inch mark some major flavor shifts occur on the finish.  The draw has finally opened up and is now producing adequate smoke output. The draw has a creamy smooth earthiness with some black pepper flavor and tingle sensation.  The finish has a creamy and smooth earth with a nougat and graham flavor.  The finish flavors are extremely silky and leaving a oily slick in the mouth.  Near the end of the finish a nice coco comes in and complements the nougat and graham flavors.  The body is at a solid medium and the burn has evened out considerably.

Two and a half inches down and the cigar has stayed the same as far as the draw and finish flavors are concerned.  The body remains a medium.  The draw is still putting off good smoke out put and the burn line has stayed even since the last update.  The flavors are remaining consistent but that is fine by me.

With just over an inch remaining the cigar has become warm and mushy.  The flavors have been washed out by a chard tobacco and black pepper tingle sensation.  I sat the cigar down for the last time at the 1 hour and 12 minute mark.  Overall for the price, this may be one of the most flavorful cigars I have had for under five dollars.

Tatuaje Black Label Corona Gorda

Toady we have the Tatuaje Black Label Corona Gorda.  This cigar has a milk chocolate brown wrapper with some predominant veins stretching the length of the cigar and has invisible seems. It also has a closed foot.  It comes in at 5.6 X 46. First light has a slightly snug draw that is producing a good amount of smoke.  The flavors on the draw are a black pepper flavor and tingle sensation with a natural sweetness.  The finish has a bold leather that turns to a cedar and black pepper near the end.  The burn is razor sharp through the first inch.The finish flavor stays on the palate long into the next draw and is at a medium to full in body.

Two inches down and the ash is still holding on nicely! The draw has opened up slightly and is still producing good smoke out put.  The flavors on the draw remain to be the black pepper flavor pepper and tingle sensation with the natural sweetness.  One draw the finish will be dominated by a creamy leather and the next draw it will be a cedar and earth with the leather in the back ground.  The cigar is still at a medium to full in body and is burning razor sharp.

Three inches down and the cigar has transitioned slightly on the finish.  The black pepper flavor and tingle sensation are starting to ramp up.  The leather and creamy cedar and earth are present and a slight coco note is coming in every few draw or so.  There is also a nuttiness that has been creeping in on the finish as well and all the flavors are mixing nicely together.  The burn remains razor sharp and the body is now at a full.

With just under two inches left the cigar started to get warm and the flavors started to get washed out.  I sat the cigar down for the last time at the 1 hour and 15 minute mark, which is a great burn time for a small ring gauge cigar.

Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R 52

Today we have the Arturo Fuente Rosado Sun grown Magnum R 52.  It has a medium brown slightly boxed pressed wrapper.  There are a few visible veins and invisible seems.  It comes in at 5 X 52.  At first light, the draw is a little snug but is producing adequate smoke output.  The draw has some subtle black pepper flavor and tingle sensation along with a semi sweet cedar.  The finish fades fairly quickly and is at a mild to medium in body.  The finish continues the same flavors as the draw with the sweet cedar dominating until the next draw.  The burn through the first inch is razor sharp.

Two inches down and and the draw still remains slightly snug.  Smoke output is down slightly and the flavors have become a little muted.  The draw still has subtle black pepper flavor and tingle sensation on the palate. On the finish the sweet cedar still is the main flavor until a tangy leather comes in just before the flavors fade away.  The burn is still doing fine.  Hopefully the smoke out put comes back up and the flavors recover.  the body is still at a mild to medium

Now, just over two inches down and the draw has opened up completely.  Its now producing a good amount of smoke and because of this the flavors have come up in body.  The draw has dropped the black pepper flavor and tingle sensation and is now dominated by the sweet cedar.  The finish is now a more flavorful and tangy leather with a semi sweet coco note coming in late on the finish.  The burn is still doing well, not requiring any attention.  The overall body is now up to a solid medium and the flavors continue on the palate till the next draw.

With a inch and a half left the flavors start to get warm and cigar is pretty mushy.  The cedar has dropped the sweetness and now has a burned characteristic to it.  The leather is still there on the finish but is warm and slightly bitter.  I sat the cigar down in the ash tray for the last time at the 1 hour an 2 minute mark.  Overall, this cigar gets my recommendation.  Its not a everyday cigar or a cigar I would pull out to celebrate with but it is definitely worth smoking.
