The Serie D #4 is a fantastic cigar, with some minor burn issues that kept this from being a 5 star review.
Look at me was a oily, dark colorado maduro wrapper. The seams were perfect with a couple prominent veins. The cigar itself was very densely packed with a tight draw. I was struck by the pungent barnyard and coffee aromas and a hint of chocolate prior to lighting.
The smoke upon lighting was oily and gave a long lasting finish that was quite pleasant. The coffee ramped up and was at the forefront followed by some notable chocolate and nut flavors.
Toward the end of the first burn the burn issues appeared. The burn got uneven and while it tried to self correct it was never capable of doing that. There was no change in flavors from first light through the end of the second third.
I had to relight the cigar once in the last third. Had a shift in flavors once the final third started. Coffee was amped up, chocolate and nuts were a bit more subdued and a caramel appears.
The body of the cigar moved up to medium-full from medium and the cigar's strength ramped up from no strength to medium strength.
Burn issues aside, fantastic cigar and you can't go wrong with one of these.
