J.C. Newman Bricktoberfest 2024
An evenly colored, brown wrapper with some noticeable veins covered this cigar with a pigtail cap. The cigar was solid to the touch, no soft spots and had an easy, open draw. There were mild, slightly sweet, hay-like notes on the pre-light nose and taste. Once lit the cigar provided full flavored smoke right away with a black and white peppery spice that kicked in early on and was a consistent trait throughout the duration of the experience. There was a sweetness that came through in the aroma as well as lingered in the taste through the back end of each puff. Medium bodied with medium strength that leaned toward the fuller side in the second half. The cigar had outstanding construction from beginning to end. The burn was incredibly even and held on to a long salt and pepper colored ash. A very flavorful cigar with a big spicy character and sweeter, earthy flavors and aroma.
