    The wrapper on this cigar had a light brown, slightly reddish hue and was silky to the touch. The pre-light nose was clean with honey and earthy notes. It was solid to the touch and had uncut wrapper tobacco at the foot, which allowed for a preview of the wrappers aroma as the foot of the cigar was warmed with a lighter. The draw had a slight resistance and was effortless to enjoy. It had rich, well fermented tobacco notes on the pre-light nose and taste.  There were a lot of nutty characteristics with a nice blend of peppery spices that balanced extremely well with the texture and flavors of the smoke. There were a lot of flavorful nuances when retro-haling the smoke. The more the cigar was smoked, the more flavors that developed, especially in the aroma. Notes of cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla and nuts developed.  A medium body overall and just packed with flavors and aroma. A very unique Nicaraguan made cigar that has a lot of character.

    Beautiful Habano wrapper with two prominent veins and a nice firm bunch. Fragrant wrapper and shaggy foot with hints of coffee and some savory spices. The cold draw is perfect. Initial flavors are mostly wrapper from the shaggy foot and are very smooth. IPAs match up very well with Habano wrapper and this one is no exception. Getting into the body of the cigar I am picking up coffee and nutmeg notes with a bit of cedar. There is also a light white pepper note in the retrohale. The burn is mostly even; the ash hit my lap at about 1/2 inch. After the first third the cigar is producing plentiful smoke that is very pleasant. Smooth and cool, the nutmeg and cedar are joined by a hint of leather. The citrus notes of the IPA are blending in perfectly. Approaching two thirds, the smoke remains cool and pleasant with a nice clean finish. The burn continues to be even and the complexity is impressive. A nice medium-bodied blend of flavors. I have to stress the quality of construction of this cigar. It is smoking very slowly with plentiful smoke so it\'s staying cool and smooth. I think I have found another cigar that belongs in my rotation.

    I really enjoyed this cigar and am looking forward to getting through a box. The aroma, flavor, body, everything worked for me. Well balanced and bursting with flavor. Just a great medium bodied cigar.
