This cigar had a hearty brown wrapper with a slightly rough appearance, and a mild earthy aroma on the pre-light. This cigar had a big flavorful character right off the bat with an outstanding burn and overall construction. Held onto a very long and dense, light colored ash. Very nice tobacco flavors with a little bit of spiciness. Very smooth smoke and smoking experience. An excellent, very well made cigar that offers balance and a lot of flavor.
