There was a slightly oily, milk chocolate colored wrapper on this cigar, which had a clean pre-light taste and smell. It had a slight resistance to the draw which let a lot of dense smoke through to the palate. The smoke had a mouthwatering quality which coated the palate with each puff. There was a subtle spice to the smoke at first which lingered on the back end of each puff. Some sweet notes developed in the aroma with big tobacco notes, but as the cigar was smoked a spicy characteristic continued to build and dominate the smokes profile. Chocolate notes developed with more noticeable cedar and leathery tones. The cigar had a very slow and even burn which produced a nearly white ash. This cigar had some power to its full body, but it had finesse and slowly built and worked with the flavors and mouthfeel. The cigar continued to build in strength ending full with a long flavorful finish that left a lasting impression.
