This cigar had a very oily sheen and a strong pre-light aroma with earthy sweet tones and some cedar detected on the palate. An open draw allowed a lot of very flavorful smoke through to the palate. Some sweet undertones are met with spices in nose with an overall creamy texture on the palate. Medium body and packed with flavors. Excellent construction with a great draw and an even burn that produced a long salt and pepper colored flaky ash. There was a big, very luring aroma. Extremely well made and flavorful. Highly recommended.
