A lighter pale brown wrapper with noticeable oils covered this cigar.  It had a full and tangy-sweet pre-light nose and taste.  Once lit there was an immediate white pepper spice with a cocoa-like characteristic.  The spicy trait was intense hen retro-haling the smoke at first, eventually becoming more manageable.  The initial flavor profile had a slightly sweet tone with more spices, floral, and wood characteristics. There was some resistance to the draw but it was still generous in providing a lot of smoke with little to no effort.  The body was full and dense with a creamy texture on the palate.  The strength was medium becoming fuller throughout the first half of the cigar, then seemed to level out to a solid medium with a long finish.  It had nice construction with a slow and mostly even burn that clung on to a dense, dark grey ash.
