There was an oily, leathery wrapper with an even color. It was solid to the touch and had a rich, sweet hay-like pre-light smell. The cigar produced a super rich aroma filled with cocoa and some cedar notes with a peppery spice that develops as the cigar is smoked. The cigar had a slow and even burn that produced a dense, salt and pepper colored. There was a very smooth draw which delivered full, dense smoke to the palate. There was a noticeably full body that made a smooth approach about an inch into the cigar. Overall this cigar had a full and rich character with spices and flavors that developed as the cigar was smoked. An extremely well made complex cigar with great flavor.
