The dark brown wrapper of this cigar sported even darker veining, giving this cigar a formidable appearance. The cigar had a roasted pre-light aroma with some notes of coffee and fresh bread. When lit, it brought forth a lightly textured smoke with medium strength flavors of earth and pepper. Not only was this very easy on the palate, it was not aggressively spiced. A slow burning cigar with a solid medium to lower-full nicotine strength.
