WARPED COCODRILO REVIEW – DOM
Summary: Through the snug draw, I get bread, a light fruitiness, and the perfect amount of pepper spice. My palate dries slightly as I relight in gale force winds.
The bread note remains prevalent in the second half. My only complaint is that I don’t have a sweet drink to make me salivate a bit more.
If You Like That, You Might Like This: A nice rope for tying things down
Pairing Suggestion: Whiskey sour
Perceived Strength: Mild+
Purchase Recommendation to a Friend: 5-pack
WARPED COCODRILO REVIEW – RICH
Summary: This cigar brought notes of dark chocolate, cream, pecans, anise, clove, and a vegetal funk.
Construction didn't give me any issues; smoked perfectly well.
If You Like That, You Might Like This: Funky nuts
Pairing Suggestion: Coffee
Perceived Strength: Medium
Purchase Recommendation to a Friend: Single
WARPED COCODRILO REVIEW – BENECIA
Summary: Jalepeno spicy out the gate. This is gonna be interesting! White pepper tickles the back of my throat: it stays with you for a minute but nothing a toasty, bready note can’t simmer. Burn line got wavy in the second third without relights or touch ups as the heat moves from my throat to the retro. Much better place for it. There was a sweetness undertone but couldn’t put my finger on it and it got a little woody at the end of this section
If You Like That, You Might Like This: Pop rocks
Pairing Suggestion: Old Forrester Old Fashioned
Perceived Strength: Medium
Purchase Recommendation to a Friend: 5-pack
