Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 1
Since this Baka Pygmy was taken from the same box as the samples I smoked for the first review, I am not surprised that it looks extremely similar to what I remember the first time around. Specifically, it has a dark brown wrapper with an obvious reddish tint that feels quite a bit like parchment. While there is a noticeable soft spot about halfway between the band and the foot, the rest of the cigar is quite firm when squeezed. Aroma from the wrapper and foot is a combination of cocoa nibs, cedar, leather, tea leaves, earth and citrus, while the cold draw brings distinct flavors of earth, orange peel, cannon, cedar, almonds and hay along with some slight raisin sweetness.
