Cigar review of Don Francisco

I am very thankful I get to smoke this cigar curtesy of Bio. I started off with a solid cut from a xikar cutter and torched the cigar with my PD jet lighter. The draw for me was good lots of smoke. I immeadiately had hints of green from the first draw, im not sure what or where that came from. The green from newer tobacco or the wrapper im not sure.
The first inch or so were bounds of full on tobacco flavor and the butt had a nice sweetness to it. The ash on my cigar was very flaky, it would hold on, but flakes were falling off during the smoke. I had several light and relight issues as well. The construction was solid, very sturdy feel, felt good in the teeth. I still have yet to find the complex flavors at 1/2 way mark and is still very bold. I can taste hints of maybe some coffee and a slight sweetness, or sugar, but it is distant for me to tell. The last 2 inches are proving to be more flavor http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj37/mtgmt/115.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj37/mtgmt/119.jpg Overall, I think that a good 6 months in my humi would really mellow and enhance some flavors. A good tight feel and solid smoke billows from this stick and while I found this to be bit good smoker, it was a tad light on the flavor for my particular smoke and the ash and lighting issues took some fun out of it. But overall I was pleased to have tried this brand.
