Ambasciator Italico Superiore Cigar Review

This Italian cheroot cigar is apx 6.5x30-40-30 with a double taper and both ends open. You can choose to smoke it whole or cut it in 1/2 for a shorter smoke time. It has a very dark brown rock hard lumpy wrapper with quite a bit of tooth and a pungent campfire and sweet wood aroma. First light reveals a slightly snug draw with minimal medium bodied smoke of a sweet oak and short clean finish. The first third opens the draw nicely producing much larger volumes of medium-full bodied smoke with the flavors changing to a dark caramel, vanilla and deep oak on the draw with a slight pepper going in to the longer finish. Draw is a bit better and smoke output is increasing. Hitting the 1/2 way point at 35 minutes everything ramps up. Full bodied flavor, more smoke, richer taste. Ending at 1:05 the last third tapers down back to medium-full with the same profile ans great construction.
