Quick review:

When I first opened the box it smelled of licorice, it was insane. When I finally had time for myself I lit it up. To be specific it was the torpedo Carlito 2008 version of the God of Fire I smoked. It started out a lot like it smelled, like licorice (not sweet though) and a bit woody. There was also a hint of spiciness to it that I almost missed. As I smoked it the flavors varied back and forth, the licorice would sometimes disappear and I would be left with spiciness and wood while sometimes it would be the other way around. The wood flavor stayed throughout the whole cigar, not overpowering but there nonetheless. The finish was fantastic. Many cigars turn into what I like to call a "block of wood" where the wood flavor just takes over the rest of the flavor, often times accompanied with earthiness. While it was earthy and woody it was not overpowering in the slightest, and throughout the end it was delicious.

Flavors: Spicy (almost unnoticeable), woody, licorice (not sweet though), very mild earth tones.

Boldness: Medium light to medium

Best with: Something smooth and light like a glass of water, good whiskey or rum, lighter beer, etc. Nothing with an overpowering flavor or heavily carbonated like soda.

Best after: Something heavy and sweet, like maybe a cheesecake or fudge or one of those chocolate cakes you get at restaurants that are way to rich.
