Back to my favorite cigar, the RASS. This happens to be an 06 vintage model. Perhaps too much aging? I think not. Tons of smoke off the get go, with a nice tight construction the suggests the aging has not hurt it one bit.
With the glass beads I have a very stable control of about 65% humidity. I certainly would want no less.
Its a rainy spring day in tokyo and one could almost say it is cold. I am happy to have a chance to light up. A peppery start. My guess is it is burning a tad hot, but settling down as I write.
The second third is consistent, voluminous smoke with with a wild deep flavor. Come back and settle down, this ride is not over yet.
Final third. Beautiful. My hunch was correct and I let it burn down a little which took the edge off.
