La Unica #400 Natural

La Unica cigars come from J.C. Newman and Carlos Fuente. Newman had the idea, Fuente made it a reality. This particular La Unica that I'm reviewing today is called the La Unica #400 Natural. It consists of a Connecticut wrapper along with Dominican binder/filler. It isn't too veiny and has a tight pack. Time to light it up.

As you light up, the flavor hits you hard and fast. It has an extremely bold black pepper flavor. I wasn't expecting the flavor to be this intense up front, and it stayed consistant. But as I finished up the first half, the flavor became more mild and a little creamier. The smoke output is great, accompanied by an even burn and an easy draw. 

The second half became even more mild. As I mentioned above, the flavor became creamier, but now is being complimented with earthy/coffee flavors. The burn stayed relatively even (kind of went off balance towards the middle of the second half). Although I said the flavor became milder, I'm still getting hints of spice on the tip of my tongue. The creamy/earthy/coffee flavoring along with a little spice really blended together nicely for a fantastic smoke.  If you get the opportunity pick up this cigar or even go buy a box of them. It will be well worth it.
