A lighter brown, toothy wrapper covered this cigar.  The pre-light nose had slightly sweet notes of hay and fermented tobacco hands.  There was more of the tangy-sweetness on the cold draw flavor with hay and mild wood.

The smoke was medium bodied with a balanced medium flavor profile.  There were notes of mild cocoa, wood and spice both in the flavor as well as in the aroma, which was full and had a luring, bright, rich quality.

The spices intensified in the taste as the cigar was enjoyed.  More black pepper spice was noticed in the nose on the retro hale and was consistent throughout the duration of the experience.

A medium strength cigar with a lot of spice and a big, yet easy-to-enjoy character.  Great construction with a very smooth draw and an even burn that hung on to a long, light gray ash.
