When I lit the cigar, I was not prepared for the taste experience I was about to get. The cigar could be divided into two parts and I wish the second part had continued for a while longer.
Construction
I got a little stuck on the name 5 o clock somewhere, I got the feeling that time doesn’t really matter. Have you ever gone to another country and set the clock forward or backward? What I mean is you won’t get older or younger no matter what the clock says, if you set the clock forward or backward you will still be exactly the same age. What matters is what you do in that moment.
The cigar was firm and evenly rolled with a matte feel to it.
Wrapper: H2000 – Binder: Conneticut – Filler: Special Blend feturing Trojes
Scent and cold draw
A scent hard to resist. The wrapper had a fruity and nutty scent while I thought I was imagining the scent of the filler. It was at that level that I asked some friends to smell it and I got the same response. The scent was slightly reminiscent of fruitiness with a hint of raspberry. The cold draw gave me flavors of hay and a lighter shade of fruity sweetness.
1/2 Lets light up the Rebellion cigars 5 o clock somewhere
An incredibly lovely start to the cigar. It all started with a light creamy texture and dominant flavors of general nuttiness, wood and an incredibly difficult to explain and unique fruitiness that reminded of general fruitiness with a slight hint of citrus and raspberry. In the background there were flavors of Floweriness that reminded of roses. Retrohalation was smooth and gave nuances of cedar and general sweetness.
2/2 A wonderful ending to the cigar
As I entered the second half of Rebellion 5 o clock somehwere the whole cigar grew. The texture became creamier and the flavors I felt were sweet floral nuances, pine, citrus and hay. In the background there were nuances of saltiness, raisins, sweet almond, sweet licorice a fruitiness with a lighter nuance of raspberry. As I got to the end of the cigar the faint taste of herbs came into the whole mix. The retrohalation was smooth and gave nuances of hay.
After taste
Walnuts
Body
Medium bordering on mild
Smoke time
50 minutes
Conclusion
Rebellion 5 o clock somewhere is an incredibly smooth cigar with a unique flavor profile. The body that is medium on the borderline to mild makes it suitable for most Aficionados. An incredibly lovely cigar that is suitable as an everyday cigar or for late nights on the balcony. If I compare price vs taste vs quality I think it is low in price and you get a lot of cigar for the money.
