Appearance
The cigar is well - rolled. The wrapper is moderately oily with several shades of brown. It has a pleasant sour smell. The pre - draw is easy and has notes of spice, earth, and tobacco.
Construction
It has a top - notch construction with a perfect draw and a good burn line. However, the ash doesn't hold for more than 1 inch.
Flavor
- First third: Easily lit with one match. It has a spectacular initial spice kick, with flavors of expensive wood, oak, and white pepper. The smoke is creamy.
- Second third: Develops round flavors of cedar and dark chocolate, with a background taste of dried apples.
- Final third: Near the finish, there are notes of roasted coffee, making it a complex smoke.

It's hard to discuss the value as it's hardly available. But it's worth its initial price tag.
The cigar is from Cuba, in a Corona Gorda (Francisco) format, hand - made, and costs $12+ each. The official weight is 9.94g.
