Cigar C seems to be the most complex of the cigars Laker sent. This box pressed toro measures in around 6"x 48 and has an oily reddish hued wrapper. The prelight draw had a noticeable cocoa/coffee-ish hint to it and it started off pretty strong with some pepper and sweetness. This stick suffered from some burn issues and required some touch ups throughout. I thought I noticed some nicarauguan flavor in there, but that disappated and went to a more earthy quality to it making me think more honduran. It remained pretty peppery and sweet and had some fruity notes to it. It remained full bodied and got more flavorful as the cigar burned down. As I got down to the last third, the pepper became even more noticeable, while sweet notes continued to dance around it.
While there were some recognizeable qualities to this cigar, I don't think I've had it before. So, once again, I'll have to make a guess.
With the shape, wrapper, and flavor profile in mind, I'm going to guess the Gurkha Micro Batch VH-7
