Emilio Cigars Draig Cayuquero

Today we have the Emilio Cigars Draig Cayuquero.  This cigar has a dark brown wrapper with a few visible veins and seems.  It comes in at 6 X 50.  After lighting the draw is slightly snug but putting out good smoke out put.  There is some pepper and spice on the draw and through the retro hale.  The finish has some earthy sweetness and a sweet cinnamon.  The finish flavors stay on the palate till the next draw and the cigar is at a medium body.  The burn is slightly wavy but not an issue through the first inch.

The cigar is burning very slow and with just over an inch and a half down we are at the 30 minute mark.  The draw is still producing adequate smoke output.  The flavors on the draw still are a pepper and spice.  The finish starts with a spicy note and finishes off with a earth, coffee and leather.  Every few draws the cinnamon will come back into play.  When the cinnamon does come back in, it dominates the other flavors and the entire finish.  The cigar has stayed very smooth and sweet to this point and is quite enjoyable.  The burn has required a touch up and remains a little wavy but does catch it self up every now and again.  The body has stayed at a medium but is starting to ramp up.

Half way through and the burn is still going slow, its been burning just over an hour.  The draw has stayed the same giving a good amount of smoke.  The draw flavor still have the pepper and spice and have added a cedar characteristic.  The finish flavors keep bouncing between the sweet earth, coffee, and leather.  The cinnamon has been fading away since the last update but does come back in every now and then in but fades fast.  A chocolate has started to creep in with the earth and coffee every couple draws and has formed a mocha that fades quickly but is a nice change of pace.  The burn has required another touch up and is still preforming well but not ideal.  The flavors stay on the palate long into the next draw and are at a solid medium to full in body.  A little strength has started to kick up as well.  Its not too powerful.  Its at a mild and is just letting me know its there but not causing any buzz or jitters.

At the 1 Hour and 58 minute mark most of the draw and finish flavors have been washed out by a warm almond and chard tobacco flavor, so I decided to call it quits.  The burn time on this cigar was fantastic delivering nearly two hours worth of smoke time.  The flavors were complex and kept my attention the entire time.  If you can find these, buy them and light them up with you have something special to celebrate, just make sure you have 2 hours of time to relax!
