There is a very nice looking oily and seamless wrapper covering this cigar with a sweet earthy pre-light smell. Dense spicy smoke hits the palate right away with a full body to soon follow. Excellent overall construction with a slow and even burn. A lot of pepper spices linger on the palate and are very intense through the nose. Earthy notes with an underlying sweetness. Fairly complex. A very well made full bodied cigar.
