Pappy Van Winkle Tradition Belicoso Fino Cigar Review

This 5x50 stick features a very lightly packed dark brown wrapper with minimal veins, tight invisible seams, an oily slightly toothy satin feel and a musty cocoa and hay aroma. First light reveals a perfect draw with thick medium-full bodied smoke showing a sweet cocoa leather and earth profile with a pepper and spice kick on the finish. The first third shows the same complex profile going even bolder with a long full finish. Burn is slow and razor sharp. The 2nd third holds the ash to the 1/2 way point with no changes. Ending at just over 1 hour the last third held the same complex profile and perfect burn adding just a touch of strength at the end.
