This cigar had a very smooth and dark, deep-reddish brown wrapper. It had a tangy-sweet pre-light nose with earthy notes. Once lit cocoa and red pepper spices hit the senses, especially when blown through the nose. The draw was incredibly smooth and easy with overall great construction. The burn was even and held on to a long, very dark gray ash. There was a nutty characteristic that developed in the taste and full, rich aroma. A very enjoyable cigar.
