The pre-light nose of this cigar had some dark fruit and rich hay-like notes. A full, luscious aroma hit the senses as soon as the cigar was lit. Cocoa, graham-cracker and a mix of spices were all detected and intensified as the cigar was smoked, as did the body. Outstanding construction overall with a slow and even burn. Full bodied with the flavor to match. This was a great cigar through and through.
