Outlaw Cigar Company Gunslinger Drifter in Toro

Today we have the Outlaw Cigar Company Gunslinger Drifter in Toro.  This cigar has a light brown wrapper and is box pressed.  It has no visible seems or veins.  It comes in at 6 X 52.  After lighting, the draw is slightly snug but is producing good smoke output.  The flavors on the draw are a sweet cedar with a aged tobacco note.  The finish has a black pepper flavor and tingle sensation followed by the sweet cedar and aged tobacco.  The burn through the first inch is slight wavy but not an issue up to this point.  The flavors are at a medium body and stay on the palate till the next draw.

Two inches down and things start to get interesting. The draw has opened up and is now producing large amounts of smoke output.  The draw flavor now is a black pepper flavor and tingle sensation with some sweet cedar.  The finish has a dark roasted coffee accompanied by a sweet caramel note at the tail end.  Every few puffs a earth and leather come in but fade fairly quickly.  All the flavors are smooth and leave a oily coating on the palate.  The flavors are now up to a medium to full and are more intense and stay on the palate long into the next draw.  The burn has evened out considerably and is now flawless for a box press stick.

Three inches down and some more flavor shifts occur.  The draw is still producing large amounts of smoke output.  The draw flavors have stayed the same as the last update with the black pepper flavor and tingle sensation and sweet cedar.  The finish is long and has the dark roasted coffee but has dropped the sweet caramel notes.  The earthiness has come up and is the dominating flavor.  It is mixing well with the coffee and every few puffs a mocha flavor comes in.  Its faint and does not last very long but is a nice desert like transition every few puffs.  The body is still at a medium to full and the burn is still preforming perfectly.

With just under two inches left the flavors have gone to a warm leather and chard tobacco on the draw and the finish has the black pepper tingle sensation accompanied by the warm leather and chard tobacco.  I sat the cigar down for the last time at the 1 hour and 18 minute mark.  Overall, this was another delicious house cigar made for the Outlaw Cigar Company by the A.J. Fernandez factory! I have enjoyed every one that I have had.
