A beautiful cigar with an extremely smooth, dark and evenly-colored wrapper. The pre-light aroma was mild with scents of caramel and earth. A perfect draw pulled thin clouds of smoke onto the palate with a bit of a muted flavor. Raw vanilla and oak were the dominating tastes, but they were mild enough that the palate felt fresh and clean after each draw. The finish picked up in the flavor strength department with notes of hay and cafe au lait sneaking into the profile.
