Decided on a raspberry thumbprint corona.
Is that taste still there? ...or was it a unique combination with the pizza, beverages and Somerville that made that tasting unique?
To be more precise, I lit a short corona gorda. It had definite barnyard aroma on the prelight. The cold draw has those classic tobacco flavors, almost Cubanesque.
Once I lit the cigar I tasted the raspberry thumbprint cookies right away in the retrohale. No joke. It's also got a good amount of white pepper spice in the middle of the tongue.
I absolutely love this stick. Flawless DE construction, draw, and burn with voluminous clouds of smoke.
I'm drinking a sparkling water to clense the palate.
