The cigar had a dark and oily, smooth wrapper with a unique sweet and rich pre-light smell. There was a slight resistance to what was an overall smooth draw.  White peppery spices hit the pallet through the nose and was noticeable in the aroma.  A dense and creamy texture developed along with a noticeably full body after about an inch. It had a mostly even burn that produced a very solid, nearly black ash. Peppery spices continued to develop with deep and rich, full tobacco notes. The aroma also continue to intensify with slightly sweet notes. The cigar had a full and complex character with a long and full body finish. The unique pre-light qualities carried over into the overall experience of the cigars flavor and aroma. It was a very well made full-bodied cigar that was effortless to enjoy and left a lasting impression.
