Cigar Review for Black Label Trading Last Rites
My Review
Starting off with very good smoke production great drop, strong flavors very unique. Almost flowery, a bit of black pepper but not the spice just the flavor.
The flavors are very pronounced it almost seems like an infused cigar.
About halfway through it's starting to get a little bit bitter. Very strong flavors.
Overall the performance was pretty good very strong flavors all the way through no draw problems no problems with running very good construction. The only complaint I really have and I guess this is a pretty big one is the overall flavor profile didn't really appeal to me.
I'm giving this a 5 out of 10 but I think that since other people have different tastes, if someone likes the flavors in here a kind of sweet mixed with bitter and flour this could be a very Good cigar for them as like I said the construction is great and it's very enjoyable to draw from.
