The Blaze Report

Appearance:

The Wise Blood had a very elegant brown wrapper that was silky smooth to touch with barely any visible seams.  It had a very unique pre-light smell of dried fruits and spices, especially at the foot. 

1st:

Full and rich aroma, which filled the air as soon as the cigar was lit.  A very smooth draw that delivered dense clouds of full flavored smoke. Earthy and plenty of rich tobacco notes with a slight resistance on the draw which continued to delivered clouds of thick and creamy smoke to the palate with lingering sweetness on the finish.

2nd:

Outstanding overall construction with an incredibly even burn that produced and held on to a long, nearly white ash. Some creamy texture followed by a slight peppery spice on the finish.  Rich earthy tones with some cedar and cocoa notes on the palate and in the aroma.

3rd:  

The flavor and aroma continued to develop and intensify, with rich and full flavors characters luring. The draw produced thick clouds of smoke with barely any efforts and the burn was extremely even with an underlying sweetness.
