This cigar had a light, slightly sweet pre-light nose with some cocoa notes on the taste. Once lit spicy white pepper lingered in the taste and also when retro-haling the smoke.  It had some sweetness that picked up as the cigar was smoked. Fairly straightforward, medium to full bodied cigar that burned effortlessly. It had a dominating earthy, spicy character that balanced well with the sweet tones.
