A nearly black wrapper gave this cigar a perfect maduro appearance. The pre-light aroma was strong, consisting mostly of aged tobacco but also a telltale barnyard aroma. A perfect draw produced nice clouds of smoke that were heavy in texture and strong in taste. The flavor profile was highlighted by bitter chocolate and toasted bread on the front, balanced well by a spicy black pepper finish. Medium-full in nicotine strength, this cigar is a long-time classic that never disappoints.
