The pre-light nose was pungent with a rustic wood and earthy note. It had a smooth draw and provided big clouds of dense smoke that had unique spices in the taste and aroma. The body continuously developed with the flavor as the cigar was smoked. The aroma was similar to the pre-light nose with a rustic woody smell that had cinnamon and black pepper notes. The cigar was hearty yet didn’t overwhelm the senses. Full flavor and aroma. A very well made cigar.
