This cigar has slightly vieny and oily wrapper with a sweet and tangy pre-light smell and taste. Very rich and sweet flavor hits the palate immediately as the tapered tip burns. There is a slight resistance on the draw that does open up. Overall a very smooth and flavorful cigar with some sweet and spicy notes. Spices intensify especially the nose. An easy going medium bodied cigar that is packed with flavor. Would be great with coffee in the morning. Excellent construction maintained an even burn that produced a long light gray ash. Very well made.
