Surrogates Crystal Baller Cigar Review

This 5 3/4x56 box pressed stick features a dark brown rosado wrapper with small veins, tight seams, a sandy satin texture and a faint soapy aroma. First light reveals a good draw with plentiful medium bodied notes of a leather and slightly sweet graham cracker with a short clean oily finish of the same. The first third builds on the same notes with a slight cocoa and pepper through the slightly longer finish. The 1/2 way point comes at 35 minutes with no changes, perfect construction and a solid ashdrop. Ending at 55 minutes the last third stayed medium bodied but the finish is nice and long. Flavors change to a neutral leather and roasted cashew on the draw, followed by a deep but mellow earth, slight pepper and plum on the tail end.
