Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

The wrapper smells of tobacco. And the pre-light draw gives some spices, chocolate and floral notes.

Burn/ Draw

Once cut, the draw is great, a bit tight, but just enough. It then opens up nicely. When lit, there are instantly some spices on the lips.

Initial third:

The first third of the cigar is dominated by spices; there is good hit of pepper and toasted tobacco right from the start. Once the strong spices dissipate, one can taste some darker flavors such as black coffee, leather, and also some earthy and woodsy aromas of cedar. There are also some nutty and sweet toasty notes. Overall, the first third is medium.

Middle third:

In the middle third, the peppery flavors are still dominant, there is also a strong taste of tobacco. There also earthy and salty notes, overall pretty dry. But aromas of chocolate and sweet toffee also join the mix, making this third pretty complex while still pretty mild.

Final third:

In the final third, the flavors are even more complex, in addition to tobacco, cedar and coffee, there is now some nice creamy aromas, some sweet vanilla and a kind of spice that one can find in pastries. You do not want to put it down, it is very smooth and pleasant.

In summary, this a great medium bodied everyday cigar, full of flavors.
