Rain City Cigar Black & Tan

The gold Virginia provides some grass citrus and a few drops of honey as it takes a slight lead over the other components. The nutty, earthy, woody, lightly sweet burley is a supporting player. The sugary black cavendish also gives important support. The varietals are processed in the cavendish style. The vanilla topping lacks depth, but along with a hint caramel, sublimates the tobaccos quite a bit. The strength barely reaches the mild threshold. The taste sits squarely on the mild mark. Hardly has any nicotine. Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a very consistent, sweet flavor that translates to the lightly lingering after taste. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. An all day work and play smoke.
