Taste Profile

• First Third: The cold draw is a bit tight and spicy. Initial flavors include green herbs, leather, and a little acidity, then change to toasted bread, and later turn to cedar with some sweetness.
• Second Third: Cedar and vanilla become stronger, with a bit of white pepper.
• Final Third: Starts with cedar, soil, leather, sweetness, and vanilla. More floral notes appear, and the cigar gains strength, flavor, and more spice.

Appearance and Construction

The wrapper has a nice dark shade for a Cuban cigar but is not smooth, with visible veins. The two rings don't match well. The construction feels a bit hard but evenly so.

Smoking Experience

The draw is a bit tight, which is normal for Cuban cigars. The ash is light - colored with dark smears. The smoke is decent, and the burn is pretty straight. It took two hours and thirty minutes to smoke. The cigar is medium in both body and flavor.
