AJ FERNANDEZ NASSER THE GOAT TORO (6 x 54)

WRAPPER: MEXICAN SAN ANDRÉS

BINDER: NICARAGUA

FILLER: NICARAGUA

Mocha, sweet tobacco, and spice start things off rather nicely. No complaints on any of that.

Coffee, smooth leather, and a touch of spice linger on the finish, all coated with a thin layer of sweetness. Clean retrohale with mocha and dark chocolate flakes.

Oak, chocolate, and smooth leather drift from the foot.

Raisin enters the mix.

Solid ash clings well to a somewhat wavy burn line. Smoke output fills the room. Draw starts a bit snug but loosens up shortly after the start.

The Goat smooths out quite well, dropping the initial spice to a subtle tingle. Creaminess builds bit by bit. Coffee grounds and dark chocolate begin to coat the palate on the finish. Nice.

This cigar makes me want to puff more often than necessary, but restraint through relaxation really makes the Goat shine. Relaxation is the goal anyway, right? I dig it.

SMOKE TIME: 1 hr. 56 mins.

RATING: 3.5 / 4 - Relaxation.
