This slightly box pressed toro shaped cigar was covered with a dark, hardy looking wrapper that was smooth to the touch.  The pre-light nose was mild with cocoa and earthy traits.  The dry-draw taste was sweet with a rich hay-like, earthy tone.  Once lit the initial smoke had dark chocolate aromas with spicy white pepper in the nose and slightly sweet earthy notes in the flavor.

Further into the cigar the spices did mellow out some only lingering on the back end of each puff and in the nose.  The smoke was dense and full bodied with a creamy texture.  There was some resistance to the draw but it provided large volumes of smoke tot eh palate with ease.  Medium strength that gradually built to full.  Consistent cocoa like flavors and a spicy character that built back up as the cigar was enjoyed.

The burn was slow, even and produced a long, flaky white ash.  A full flavored, full bodied and full strength cigar that left a lasting impression.  A great choice for anyone looking for a cigar that has a full profile across the board.
