Hey guys, it's another one from the Whiskey Rebellion. This one is called Jefferson. Pretty much going to have historical figures for names at this point. Let's get into it!

RoMa Craft Whiskey Rebellion Jefferson:

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano

Binder: Indonesian Besuki

Filler: Honduran and Nicaraguan

Pre-Light/Construction:

From the appearance, the 5x56 stick looked like every other RoMa Craft stick....packed to a maximum in binder and filler. The wrapper was nice, oily, smooth and firm to the touch. The aroma was vibrant in earth, oak, and leather notes surprisingly. When held, it seemed suitable for my grasp, even for a 56 Ring Gauge. Veins and Seems were very visible, but looked great from the oil shine. The pre-slice was a bit snug, but the flow was gradually pleasant. Light it up!

The Burn Part 1:

The first few puffs were calm with a light pepper notes along with a medium roast coffee tone. A mellow start I'd have to say. The draw was loosening up more and more. Got my haircut earlier before I arrived at the shop to do this review before while smoking the stick for timing. Will eventually get back home to work on a painting concept for my sister's friend's wedding. Had myself a fresh pot of coffee to help my palette, and it was worth it. So far the coffee I had only enhanced the notes.

The Burn Part 2:

Surprisingly it was at this point some really woody notes come around in the 2nd 3rd of the stick to give the pepper notes a bit of a boost in mellow tone. To my surprise, the pepper notes were at a level like they were a dear friend you always got along with with no edge. Something different, and I love it. Soon some leather notes came into play, and it fitted quite nicely. Alot of the locals were at the shop and watching the coverage on Hurricane or Tropical Storm Barry before the impact. Practically glued to the Weather Channel. My cup of coffee was nearly gone, so I grabbed another cup of coffee and took a little break from typing.

The Burn Final:

I grabbed myself a copy of the latest Cigar Press Magazine when I saw my buddy Eric's art on the cover from the rack when I arrived at the shop earlier and took a look for a bit and took a photo to promote his work. At this point of the stick, the level of body in the stick was a little more heavy, but maintained a well mellow balance. The wood and pepper notes stayed in sync with each other while the coffee notes were up and down. As the final draw was coming to a close, the final notes that made the finish line were the pepper and wood notes to be fair. Mellow as it was, I wish it continued a little more. With that I took a swig of coffee before putting it out in the ashtray.

Verdict:

Mellow, smooth, and pleasing feel to it. This one was a pleasant way to start out my day off for the weekend. I definitely recommend this stick for all the right reasons. Any everyday, and anytime smoke. Again if your shop has RoMa Craft and happens to have these in stock, practically grab you a few.
