The La Gianna Havana Angelic Toro provided a pretty similar profile that I get from lower grade, sometimes bundle Connecticut Shade offerings. The bitterness and burning paper notes were definitely a detractor. The sweetened head only lasted a short time and may have helped if it was around longer. The price point is a bit high for what the experience was and I don't see coming back to this cigar.

Overall, the flavor profile of the United Cigar Irish Car Bomb Firecracker was fairly average. The transitioning seemed to come with the wrapper changes, which is nice to see. Well priced for what was delivered and a fun little smoke, but not something I'd chase down more of.
