This cigar had a shiny, lighter brown wrapper with mild honey and tobacco notes on the pre-light nose.  Firm to the touch from the head of the cigar to foot with no soft spots and a very smooth draw.  Intriguing flavors from the start with a rich, creamy texture and dense, fuller body.  Bright flavors with some floral notes were noticed with initial red and white pepper spices, which were especially noticed when retrohaling the smoke through the nose.  Mild spice sensations lingered on the palate.  The body was full with medium strength that quickly built to full, then tapered back off to medium before slowly climbing back up to full strength.  The spicy pepper traits settled out a little bit revealing more of the black pepper flavors.  There was complexity and changes throughout the cigar.  A very flavorful cigar that delivered a nice, full strength punch in the beginning and then evened out to make a more balanced experience.  Great construction with an effortless draw, the cigar never became soft and it held on to a long, light gray ash.
