Reviewer: The Cigar Authority
The cold draw of the Arapiraca wrapped Intemperance BA XXI has some notes of apricots, coffee and a touch of chocolate. The aroma off the foot and wrapper has an abundance of coffee beans and cedar with a hint of plum.
Once the cigar is toasted and lit, it provides initial notes of chocolate and hearty espresso. In the background there is a subtle leather and wood component, with the wood being enhanced on the retrohale which also contains some black pepper. The finish is moderate in length at this point of the cigar and it comes off as very well-balanced.
Moving into the second third of the Breach of the Peace, the leather notes become dominant, with a hint of coffee thrown into the mix as well. At the halfway point, notes of chocolate emerge once again and the cigar becomes very creamy. In the background there are subtle nuance of coffee, wood and earth. The retrohale sees a subtle apricot note return with hints of red pepper. The finish of the cigar becomes longer.
The final third of the Intemperance sees coffee notes become dominant as the sweetness of the second half slides into the background. There are some wood and leather notes on the finish which is moderate in length. The retrohale continues to offer hints of red pepper and an abundance of cedar notes.
