A lighter brown wrapper covered this cigar. It had milder pre-light notes of sweet hay on the nose and taste. there was slight resistance on the draw yet was effortless in provided large volumes of smoke with ease. Mild strength with a medium body and flavor profile. More of the hay notes from the pre-light carried over to the taste once lit with white pepper tones in the nose. The smoke had a creamy texture and was clean on the palate. The burn was even and produced a long light gray ash. The mild strength was consistent throughout. There wasn’t much complexity, or changes as the cigar was enjoyed but it offered very pleasant flavors and aroma. Mild sweetness, hay, wood and earthy tones and a bit of peppery spice that did pick up in the second half. Easy to enjoy.
