Middle third:

In the middle third, the main tobacco aromas are still dominant, however the flavors of nuts, of milk chocolate are more noticeable. There are also notes of bitterness and saltiness.

Final third:

The final third has typical flavor profile of the Le Hoyo series, mostly wood, nuts, toasted tobacco and some spices. There is still some sweetness, some milk chocolate. It is still very smooth, feels like eating a chocolate candy. This cigar is enjoyable until the very end, a true finger burner.
