Drew Estate Nirvana Toro

Today we have Nirvana in Toro.  This cigar has a medium brown rustic looking wrapper.  It has invisible veins and seems.  It comes in at 6 X 52.  After lighting, the draw is slightly snug but is producing good smoke output.  The draw flavors are a sweet cedar and black pepper.  The finish has a mint taste, along with the sweet cedar and black pepper. The flavors are quite unique.  The flavors stay on the palate into the next draw and are at a mild to medium in body.  The burn through the first inch is razor sharp.

Two inches down and the flavors are mainly staying the same but intensifying.  The sweet cedar and black pepper are still on the draw and the retro-hale.  The sweet cedar and black pepper are also their on the finish but are more intense and leaving the palate with a substantial feel. A leather note is also present every few draws or so.  The sweet cedar has the taste and texture of syrup in the mouth and is a nice flavor. The body is up to a medium.  The burn remains razor sharp.

With just over and inch and a half left, not much has changed since the last update.  All the flavors still remain at the same body level.  Sweet syrup, cedar, black pepper and leather still dominate the entire flavor profile.  Overall this cigar has been a peppery version of most Cameroon wrappers that  I have smoked.  It was tasty but fairly ordinary.  I sat the cigar down for the last time at the 1 hour and 25 minute mark, which is a really good time for a Toro size smoke.
