The pre-light nose was rich with dark and earthy fruit notes and some hay-like qualities. The draw was effortless and provided large volumes of creamy textured smoke. There were a lot of white peppery spices in the nose, which carried over to the taste and intensified as the cigar was smoked. The aroma was rich, full and had a luring quality with more spices and cocoa notes. Outstanding overall construction with a long ash and an even burn. Full body with flavor to match.
