There was a smooth and dark brown wrapper with a very luring pre-light aroma on the foot of this cigar. Heavy notes of cocoa and spice were detected and also carried over to the flavor once lit. Full flavors hit the palate right off the bat with a smooth draw that produced thick clouds of white smoke. Consistent earthy cocoa notes with traces of flavors reminiscent of coffee and spice. An excellent burn produced a light and flaky ash. Very solid in the hand with outstanding construction overall. Full, smooth, and refined. Extremely well made.
