A light brown, slightly oily wrapper with some noticeable veins covered this cigar.  The pre-light nose was light and had graham cracker and sweet earthy tones, both of which carried over to the dry-draw flavor.  Once lit the cigar immediately provided dense, creamy smoke with a spicy pepper notes in the nose and a mouthwatering texture.

It had wood, cinnamon and black pepper tones in the flavor with a little bit of sweetness that lingered on the palate.  As the cigar progressed it developed more peppery spice in the taste, remaining consistent when retro-haling the smoke through the nose.  The draw was incredibly smooth with a razor’s edge burn that produced a long light gray ash.

Phenomenal construction through and through.  The spicy traits of the cigar mellowed out going into the second half, while remaining present but never overwhelming.  The cigar developed a deep earthy tone with more wood while maintaining that touch of sweetness through the finish of each puff.  Medium-full strength with a full body and a well-balanced flavor profile.  This cigar was effortless to enjoy and while it did change and develop some it wasn’t overly complex.
