This cigar had a rustic appearance with a strong aged tobacco aroma that was present on the pre-light with some peppery notes near the open foot. The draw being slightly snug but no obstacle as the smoke volume was great and presented a mix of flavors. Opening the flavor infusion were mocha and black pepper tastes, finishing with an earthy note. This flavor lasted long between draws and balanced out perfectly with the sweet front end. Well constructed and lower full in nicotine strength.
