Viva Republica Propaganda

This Viva Republica Propaganda is another cigar from Little Smoke 2014, put on by Legends of Fire at Northern Quest Casino. No need to worry, I only have about twenty more sticks from this event left to review.

I'm not really sure if this is a pre-release or not, I couldn't find it for sale on-line so perhaps it is.

It's a nice stout little cigar measuring 4 x 54. Covered by a hearty dark maduro colored wrapper. The seamless wrapper itself is oily, it has a few smaller veins and a bit of tooth. From the foot there is a faint aroma of toast. While the draw is a bit tight, but still acceptable, it has flavors of spicy fruit.

After the foot was toasted and burning the first medium/full bodied flavors were a mix of cocoa and white pepper. The burning cigar also produced a large volume of smoke. As the burn progressed there were other flavor notes of raw sugar, a hint of anise, brown sugar, leather, barnyard and coca. The sixty minute burn finished with a full bodied mix of caramel and leather.

Overall, this was a nice cigar. The burn took off a bit in the first third, but self corrected by the mid point. I feel Viva Republica has another winner in their already great cigar line.
