There was a very attractive dark and oily wrapper on this box-pressed torpedo. There is a faint and clean pre-light smell with no resistance on the draw. The cigar had a very slow and even burn, allowing the flavors and body to slowly build and develop. A full boy quickly ensued with a a deep character and full flavor profile. Heavy tobacco notes with dark chocolate and spice. There was a full and rich aroma, very appealing aroma. An extremely well made, balanced full bodied and flavored cigars.
