Let's try again...

Overall pleasant I would say. Creamy leather with a hint of sweetness.  Some pepper and spice, more so in the first half.  Good deal of strength by the latter part of the smoke.  I wouldn't put it up with other Crowned Heads, wouldn't run out to buy a box, but enjoyable.

That's disappointing given the hype, does it seem like age will help or just not great?

Pretty straightforward.  Don't know that age would improve the pepper or spice.  Don't pick up hints of anything else that might emerge  or shift with age.

Not one per se, but the official ND victory over Clemson cigar is the Laranja maduro. Called Escuro.  Needless to say, they have a lot of age on them.

That's pretty scary. How have you been feeling? Perhaps they will recommend implanting a defibrillator.
