A lighter brown colored wrapper covered this cigar and it had a silky smooth texture to the touch.  The pre-light nose at the foot was rich with tangy, earthy sweet notes and hay-like tones.  The dry draw flavor was similar and had touches of wood.  An effortless, smooth draw allowed a lot of smoke to the palate with ease.  There were initial peppery spices in the taste as well as in the nose, which soon settled down allowing more nuances of flavor to be noticed like graham cracker, mild cocoa and cedar.

The cigar had mild strength in the beginning but it didn’t hesitate gaining momentum.  The aroma was pleasant with more wood and pepper spices.  The spicy traits of the cigar picked back up as well but never overwhelmed the other characteristics of the cigar.  The taste had a mild sweetness that was consistent throughout and it was also noticed in the aroma becoming a stronger note as the cigar was enjoyed.  Medium to full strength with the second half more on the fuller side.

The smoke had a medium body, full flavors and aroma that continued to develop for the duration of the experience.    Outstanding construction with a slow and even burn, producing a long salt and pepper colored ash.  A great choice for anyone who enjoys a nice spicy cigar that won’t knock you down and has a lot of flavor.
