Cheap Stick Shootout 4 Alec Bradley Medici Cosimo vs Camacho San Marco Robusto Cigar Review

The Alec Bradley Medici Cosimo is a 5x52 stick featuring a dark chocolate maduro wrapper, double cap, a splotchy appearance with some small veins, a couple imperfections and patch, nice tight seams and a rich oily chocolate aroma. Yes, I realize I mispronounced Medici DUH!!! First light reveals a perfect draw, plenty of thich rich smoke with medium bodied flavors of an oily earth, almost a leather, with a good pepper zing through the long finish. The first third brings up the body to medium-full with rich thick smoke, flavors of a deep smooth earth and nice cocoa, dropping the pepper. 35 minutes in at the 1/2 way point the ash drops off in a solid chunk and there are absolutely no flavor changes - which is just fine! Ending at 50 minutes the last third shifted the creamy cocoa up a bit overtaking the earthiness, while the earth help on through the finish.
