Like a chocolate bar that you want to take a bite out of this box pressed shape had great hand and eye appeal. The wrapper was a deep reddish-brown color with barely any visible seams and was silky to the touch. It had a unique sweet and tangy pre-light smell and taste. The cigar was solid in the hand and had a very smooth and effortless draw. Right away the cigar kicked off with black and red pepper spices in the taste and through the nose. Those spices remained consistent and accentuated the full flavored, full-bodied experience of this cigar. The aroma had some cocoa, graham cracker like notes and cedar tones. The burn was slow and even, with outstanding overall construction. The cigar continued to pick up momentum and build in both flavor and body strengths. It finished very full and left a lasting impression.
