This barber pole style cigar had a faint yet rich pre-light nose with an uncut foot and pigtail cap. The pre-light taste was slightly sweet with earthy floral tones. Once lit, the smoke was dense, full bodied and had a creamy texture with bold full flavors and aroma.  There was mild spice in the nose when retro haling the smoke.

As the cigar progressed cocoa notes developed in the flavor and aroma with a white peppery spice that picked up in the taste and especially in the nose.  Very well-balanced texture and an incredibly smooth experience overall.  Outstanding construction with a slow and even burn.

The cigar had a full deep flavor with a rich profile that progressively became spicier as it was enjoyed, yet was easy to enjoy with a medium body.  A great choice for anyone who enjoys a lot of flavor without the full strength.
