I was up for something new this past weekend, so I took the advice from the tobacconist, and chose the Aging Room M356. I was told that it had more strength than it's younger brother which has a Sumatra wrapper (tempting), so I gave it a shot while watching some college basketball. I used a punch cut, and toasted the foot before the first puff. The same company makes the SWAG cigars - which I've not yet tried. This particular line is a "Small Batch," due to the limited tobaccos used in the blend.
1/3: Spiciness up front, with some pepper. The cigar has good weight to it, and has an attractive, medium-brown wrapper. No overly visible veins or seams on this stick. The ash hung on solidly for about an inch before I knocked it into the ashtray. Good draw.
2/3: In the 2nd third, there is complexity (which I tend to enjoy), and some floral notes. As I approached the final third, the cigar didn't go out, but did require a touch up or two to keep things moving.
3/3: This stick ended with a strong finish, however it never got bitter or char-tasting.
I'd smoke it again. The price wasn't exorbitant, relatively speaking. I didn't find anything I loved about it, but I also couldn't find much that I didn't like about it. Definitely worth a smoke if one has not tried it before.
