Appearance

The cigar has an attractive appearance with a well - made pigtail cap. It has a slightly sweet pre - light smell. The wrapper is veiny but doesn't make the cigar look rustic. Appearance rating is 4.5/5.

Construction

The draw is slightly tight, yet it can produce billows of smoke. The burn is perfectly straight throughout. Construction rating is 4.5/5.

Flavor

• One third: It starts mild with a bit of unrefined youthfulness. The smoke is creamy with hints of white pepper and vanilla.
• Two thirds: It becomes creamier and develops subtle sweetness on the finish.

Flavor rating is 4/5.

Value

As a Cohiba, it commands a premium and is expensive for daily smoking. However, it's worth it for occasional treats if you can afford it. Value rating is 3/5.

Overall, this cigar has a flavor profile similar to a Trinidad Reyes and lacks much of the Cohiba grassiness. It ages well, and it's recommended for those who can afford it.
