Cigar Review for Esteban Carreras Chupa Cabra
My Review
I had to use the draw tool to make this smokable. So the draw is pretty low on the scale. Smoke output is medium. Getting a slight hint of chocolate right at the beginning. A lot of earthiness too.
20 minutes in, despite the problems with the draw, the flavor is very good. Nice fermented flavor. The chocolate was very strong at the beginning although it's subsided a little bit so far. Now I'm just getting more general earthy notes which are very enjoyable.
40 minutes in, about a little bit less than two-thirds done. Flavors are staying consistent and very good still. 45 minutes in the flavors are still pretty good the draw, not so much this would have rated much better if not for the draw.
