Smoking Experience:
Cold Draw: The cold draw is bringing an interesting wildfire type of flavor, with some earthy notes, and some leather. Let’s get this cigar rolling!
First Third: The first third of the Flatbed Pennsyltucky is really interesting. So far I am getting that wood and smokey flavor like I mentioned in the cold draw, but not in an overpowering way at all. There is a mild sweetness and almost no spice at all. Really interesting thus far. Through the nose I am getting some heavy sweetness, a light hint of white pepper, and almost a floral sensation on the back-end. The first third has been very flavorful!
Second Third: The second third of the Flatbed Pennsyltucky has changed a good bit. The main flavor I am getting on the inhale now is a really dry hickory with some hints of some smoked woody notes as well. There is also a little more red pepper spice than in the first third. It is a really nice change from not having any spice at all. Through the nose I am getting a salty peanut, some light black pepper rather than red pepper that is in the inhale, and a light maple syrup with a dash of vanilla extract.
Final Third/Finish: The finish of the Pennsyltucky by Flatbed has moved to another flavor profile yet again. The hickory flavor has moved to a really nice smokey BBQ flavor. It tastes like you’re eating a burger or something straight off of a charcoal grill, yum! There is also some hints of the red pepper that was there in the second third of the smoke. Through the nose I am getting a floral note and almost no spice. There is some creaminess, and light hints of vanilla on the back-end of the retro.
Overview: This wasn’t a bad cigar at all. Had a lot of good character, lots of strength, needed some touching up, burn wasn’t as good as the last three Flatbed cigars I have smoked, but it was good. Overall if I was in the mood, I would certainly smoke it again. I’m not in the mood for KFC very much, but this is a great tweak to the KFC blending style. Well done. I hope this gives you an idea of the flavor of this cigar, and as always I hope you enjoyed. Until then stay smokey!
