Curivari Seleccion Privada (robusto)

Today, I'm smoking a newer boutique brand.  It looked like there were 6 lines to choose from at the B&M, with something like 3 vitolas per label.  Barnyard smell pre-light.  After toasting it, it lit right up, with a little snag in one spot that looks like a shark's tooth.  It didn't take long to correct.

Tobacco taste, with nothing really standing out for me. The taste and burn are quite reminiscent of a Cuban cigar.  During the 1st third I'm able to pick out wood and dry leaves.

In the 2nd third, I taste nutmeg and honey. Flavor and strength profile are both medium-bodied.

Flavors remained the same, but strengthened a little bit in the final third.
