This cigar had a silky feel to the touch with a pungent pre-light smell. The shaggy foot let off a full and rich aroma as it burned down to the wrapper. A very smooth draw let generous amounts of smoke effortlessly to the palate. The cigar maintained a long, dark ash and a even burn. Full rich flavors develop as do lingering spices. Medium body with full robust flavors. Extremely well made with complexity, richness, and a luring aroma.
