Iconic Recluse Amadeus Los Cabos Sidewinder 3 Cigar Review

This 7x57 oval pressed stick features a dark chocolate dense, firmly packed oily toothy wrapper with minimal veins, tight invisible seams, chisel cap and sweet cocoa and hay aroma. First light reveals an open draw with plentiful, thick medium bodied smoke showing a smooth, dry cocoa and hay with a slight pepper joining the oily, long finish. The first third mellows a touch to mild-medium with flavors a bit smoother adding a subtle vanilla on the draw making the cocoa more of a milk chocolate and the pepper less through the draw. The 1/2 way point comes at a slow 45 minutes smokes perfectly, dropping a solid ash and holding the same notes. The last third ends at 1:35 with flavors dropping the vanilla and cocoa shifting to a metallic earth, roasted nut and deep pepper through the finish.
