Baccarat Belicoso
Origin: Honduras
Size: 6.00 X 42/54

From Famous Smoke:
Baccarat cigars have been producing some of the mildest and aromatic cigars since 1871. A favorite of new cigar smokers as well as many seasoned men and women cigar smokers, Baccarat is handmade with an all-Honduran tobacco blend and a sweet-tasting wrapper also found in some traditional Cuban cigars. These popular premium cigars are as consistent in construction and flavor as they are affordable, too.

Notes:

This cigar had a very unusual flavor. In fact it had very little tobacco flavor at all. The only thing I could compare it to would be... whipped cream. It was not bad by any means, just different. The body was fairly mild, smooth and really creamy upon the light. The draw was tight. The room aroma was great, one of the best I've encountered, and increased in character as the cigar burned, just as the taste did.

The flavors perked up somewhat during the second half of the smoke, albeit remaining somewhat straightforward and one-dimensional. The tip is sealed with a sweet flavoring agent, which really gave this cigar an excellent finish. Construction and burn were also great; I did notice a few veins, but this didn't impede the steady burn at all.
