This is my second MUWAT, with the first being a smaller vitola. I found that the pre-light sniff revealed a musty scent at the foot. The wrapper had a crispness to it, and showed some veins and seams. This cigar was packed to the brim, although it did not adversely affect the draw at all. I opted for a punch cut, and as usual, I toasted the foot before puffing away.
1/3: The first few draws were crisp and had a little bit of bite. The draw is good. I'm impressed with the quality of this stick, and the white ash (which signifies a higher presence of magnesium in the soil it was grown in) contrasts nicely against the dark shade San Andres Maduro wrapper. Plenty of "at rest" smoke coming off this one.
2/3: In the 2nd third, the cigar has gotten bolder. I pick up notes of cedar and leather at this point.
3/3: The cigar is burning hotter in its final third. The cap fell off, but isn't posing a problem. I've had no need for a lighter after the initial lighting ritual. No touch-ups make me a happy smoker!
