Alec Bradley Medalist Gordo

Storage: 68-71% 25C

Mellow-to-medium bodied cigar that offers a smooth and approachable experience. Almost a perfect Connecticut shade. Plenty of creamy smoke, not harsh or overly bitter. Smooth throughout except in the final where suddenly it punches you in the face.

First Third:

Cream
Toasted almonds.
Hints of hay and vanilla.

Second Third:

Light cedar
Touch of citrus zest.
Some sweetness, like honey.

Final Third:

Nutty core remains.
Slight white pepper or soft spice builds toward the end.
Creaminess tapers into a drier, woodier finish with a punch.

Draw: Consistently smooth thanks to the large ring gauge.
Burn: Even, with a solid ash.
Smoke Output: Ample and fragrant.

Pairing Suggestions:
Coffee with cream or milk.
A wheat beer or light lager.
