This cigar had a very dark and silky smooth wrapper. The pre-light nose and taste had a woody cocoa note, which carried over to the aroma once lit. The flavor had deep wood and black pepper spices that lingered through the finish of each puff. The draw was effortless and it had a very even burn. More bittersweet chocolate notes developed in the taste and aroma, along with a full body and a dense, creamy mouth feel. This was a very full cigar packed with flavor.
