Prelight

It has excellent construction, not too tight. It punches out well and has a nice draw. It has lightly veined and puckered leaves with a sweet smell. The cap is well - constructed with a pig - tail twist.

Taste Profile

• First third: Easy to roast the foot. It produces an instant rich cloud, fairly tangy but not bitter. It has a chocolaty flavor, an even burn, and a nice ash stack. The 44 ring gauge might be a bit large for beginners.
• Second third: A pleasant nuttiness develops. It's quite robust and can overwhelm an American - strength coffee. The retro - inhale is mild with a long aftertaste. The ash stack remains robust with minimal mess.
• Final third: The bouquet's intensity increases but remains mild. The cigar can be put down between draws without going out, showing excellent build quality.

Caution

It's important to keep this cigar well - stored. Any dryness can cause the wrapper to peel towards the end. Buyers are advised to ask the shop to store it in a cardboard sleeve, then a sealable plastic bag with a little water spray.

This is an ideal medium - sized cigar for both beginners and seasoned aficionados, suitable for an afternoon or evening smoke.
