The anise has also faded from the retrohale which has now transitioned to strong black coffee with a little bit of black pepper on the finish. I also noticed that the wrapper was loose on all five. As the cigar settles into the burn, the fermented Aracon Maduro wrapper begins to enhance the initial notes, filling every nook and cranny of the mouth with hearty and rich plumes of smoke.
Once it was corrected, the cigar stayed on a pretty straight burn course for a while before needing another helping torch-wielding hand.Simply put, the Eastern Standard does not lack for flavor. The head appears to be finished off with a deep single cap that ends in a twist with a small pigtail.
The flavor profile wasn’t one that I typically gravitate to as it was a bit drying and too wood and earth focused. The retrohaling is still spice and earth driven.
