Appearance:

The cigar was solid to the touch and covered with a great looking oily brown wrapper.  A lot of sweet earthy tones were evident on the pre-light smell and flavor.

 Journey Profile:

1^st quarter: Once lit, you will notice an instant creamy texture to the smoke with a touch of peppery notes through the nose.  A smooth draw let full rich flavors onto the palate immediately.  There was a creamy texture to the smoke along with an underlying sweetness.  2^nd quarter: Some spices continued to develop through the nose.  A smooth draw produced an even burn and bold yet subdued characters.  Full flavors with an underlying full body came quickly into play.  Some cocoa notes helped produce a dense smoke and great aroma.  3^rd quarter: Plenty of creaminess came through with some dried fruit on the palate.  There was also a roast flavor with some sweetness.  Straightforward full flavors with a lot of earthy tobacco appeared along with spicy characters.  4^th quarter: A slow and easy burn created a nice ash all the way through.  It developed into a full body with a creamy texture and rich flavors of wood, spices and a hint of nuttiness on the palate.  Spice through the nose was well balanced and the cigar was packed with consistent flavors.

.

Final Thoughts:

The Crux Bull & Bear packed a nice punch of flavor to match its impressive construction.  There were spices through the nose with a well-rounded texture on the palate.  It is smoked with ease, offered great sweet and spicy notes and had a great burn all the way through.
