Angry Elf

This was a nice looking, well made cigar. It had a beautiful green candela wrapper. I was looking for a mellow, late morning/early afternoon cigar and this one fit the bill perfectly. It was just what I was looking for. It had little to no taste at first, maybe it was overpowered from pairing it with coffee? The draw was very nice, the smell was pleasant.

After I had smoked about 1/3 of it I started getting a bit of an earthy taste, that stayed with it for the duration of the cigar, but nothing so strong as to be unpleasant.

Overall it was a great morning smoke with the only drawback being that it took awhile to finish. At 50 minutes I still had about 3 inches left. I smoked it down to an inch and 1/4 in about an hour.

From Holt's Cigars:

These bad boys sport colorful, green Candela wrappers and a vibrant blend of creamy Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers. The flavors are mild to medium-bodied with a pleasant earthy richness, slight sweetness and a subtle dash of black pepper. Whether you're a regular Candela smoker, or looking to try a Candela-wrapped cigar for the first time, Angry Elf is an outstanding choice.
