No cinnamon and apples but the GOTF was a great smoke, especially given that I snuffed it then relit it an hour later.  A little harsh (as would be expected) for a few puffs after the relight but otherwise a nice smooth smoke.  Outstanding construction and a really nice size smoke.
I find that if you don't snuff it out and instead blow out a bit and finally cut the cherry, it seems to work better. Then I'll continue to blow out a bit so as not to let the harshness permeate up the cigar until you make sure it's out. Later, you can relight pretty successfully and the harshness is minimized. Just my two cents.

Probably would work a lot better but I was outside in a hurricane with two dogs and trying to get my wet ass inside!

Harvey on the verge of a 4.
Yeh but real close to being onshore and going to be a bit north of Corpus about dead center of Aransas Pass, Port Aransas and Rockport an area we like to spend some time in.  We came real close to buying a vacation home in Rockport but we very wisely built a pool and patio instead ::)

Hahaha. Sure enough. Just something to keep in mind in case you ever find yourself in a similar predicament.

Pools is only a good idea now that you sold it.

NO!  Pools is never ever a good idea unless someone else owns it.

Wrap up the evening with a San Cristobal Quintessence and a Dalmore kissed by a cube.
