This was a hearty looking larger ring gauge cigar with a fancy pigtail cap. Once clipped the draw had zero resistance and a big earthy pre-light taste and smell, which carried over to the taste once lit. The smoke was dense with a peppery note underneath a big chocolaty, earthy profile. The cigar packed a punch and offered a full flavored, full bodied and rich smoking experience with a lot of spice that lingered through the finish. The aroma continued to develop a rich cocoa note.
