This cigar had an extremely deep brown color with a reddish hue. It was extremely hearty in appearance yet silky to the touch. The pre-light nose was sweet with fruit and earthy notes. Once lit the cigar provided large volumes of full flavored, dense smoke. It had a creamy texture with unique spices in the aroma. The burn was slow, extremely even and consistently produced smoke from the foot. It had a rich character with full flavors, a full aroma and a very full body.
