Animal Cracker by Surrogates

How could you not try a cigar called “Animal Cracker”? The name alone is worth giving it a go! 

The cigar itself has a deep, dark, rich color which is visually appealing, however it did have some minor construction flaws, but weirdly that was part of the appeal for this cigar.  That of course being a sensible thing to say specifically because none of the defects affected the burn of the cigar. 

The draw was a bit loose but also produced heavy amounts of smoke, which makes the airy inhale a bit of a moot point and all things considered, more loose is better than too tight.. Unlike some things in life. 

Initially I was turned off my the aroma and flavor at the starting line. It was like someone taped a dandelion under my nose. Thankfully the heavy floral dissipated and transformed into a lovely savoriness balanced with an earthy undertone  that remained consistent throughout the remainder of the cigar.
