There was a dark and oily wrapper covering this cigar. Very firm to the touch with an extremely smooth draw. Outstanding cap when cut right produces a divot at the foot. There was a rich and luring, full aroma right off the bat. Big and bold flavors with some spice, woodiness, and full tobacco notes. Near flawless construction with a great burn that held on to a very dark gray ash. Flavor intensified as the cigar was smoked and the body slowly developed, finishing full with full and smooth smoky flavors.
