My naked stick is very smooth and slightly sweet, like a sweet bread. Going really great with coffee and baileys!

The Great Wrapper Experiment
The Ecuador Maduro wrapper was surprisingly spicy. Well, for a Maduro wrapper anyway. The first inch or so was deliciously sweet, but as the cigar kept burning that sweetness disappeared. The spice through the retrohale was perfect, but overall didn't go with the innards. The stick was fairly one dimensional, mostly earth and spice. I missed the sweetness from the naked cigar, but maybe with a bigger ring gauge it could work. The finish was very nice, and writing this a few minutes after the cigar I'm still enjoying it. All that said, the cigar was good, just a bit unbalanced. The filler/binder seemed to be hiding behind the wrapper.
